Pours nice, keeps a decent head on the beer. Smells like a garden. Thin, crisp, sweet flavor. Strong abv. The aftertaste is amazing, even if the beer itself is a bit to sweet for my liking. Very carbonated. Remindes me of a pumpkin soda.

Pours cloudy orange-amber with a very generous beige head which lasts. Smells like sweet bread, very nice. Starts off strong, sourdough bread and dark fruit, and is very dry. Goes down smooth, has a bit more carbonation that the other trappist ales, warms as it reaches bottom. Very enjoyable, definitely a unique and complex brew.

Bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a fizzy, pillowy white head that lasts relatively well, and clings nicely to the glass. Strong flowery aroma with a hoppy bite and dry alcoholic finish.

bottle - (thank’s Alex!) - Hazy orange beer with a thick white head. Sweet aroma, reminds me on hot spiced wine. Sweet alcoholic flavour.

Bottled 12/27/2007. Pop the cap. Super sweet, flowery, perfume smell. Fantastic nose, excellent, excellent. Doughy head. Light, cloudy hue with a very faint bit of plum coloring. A ton of malt, light fruits. Smooth, a little bit of bitter in there. Tingly, natural carbonation that isn’t overdone. More sips- this beer is balanced. More bitter now as opposed to overly malty during the first sip. This is an incredibly complex beer. A bit of a bready yeastiness. Trying to pin down the fruit taste but I can’t. Some light grapes... peach? Ah, lots of apple and pear here also. It’s like a good movie, you notice something new with each time you experience it. This comes highly, highly recommended from me. Absolutely fabulous, one of the best single beers I’ve ever had. EDIT- Just noticed that this was a milestone for me... Nice beer to have for my 100th rating. :)
