Incroyable bière trappiste. Robe brune foncée accompagnée d’une superbe mousse beige. Le nez dévoile de arômes de bananes, de raisin, de sucre candy et d’alcool. En bouche, l’alcool est parfaitement dissimulée laissant place aux saveurs fruitées. Fine amertume finale ! Une grande grande bière.

Sheffee (18) - Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA - JUN 9, 2013
Easily one of the best beers on the planet! Sweet, malty, caramel, coffee, alcohol, yeast...all in fine balance! The carbonation is something to marvel at, almost Champagnesque.

KLTZK (4) - Alkmaar, NETHERLANDS - JUN 8, 2013 does not count
Bottle (33 cl). A dark brown/red and very hazy beer. Pours a thick, light brown head with the sediment from the bottle clearly noticeable. Very rich aroma, fruits, alcohol and spices. Taste is also extremely rich and complex, again alcohol, spices and fruits but also yeast and bit of chocolate. Very full and oily and a bit sticky body and lively carbonation. Goes down very smooth, and has a long aftertaste. Amazing!

In my opinion the best beer in the world. It is beatifull Brown beer with a fruity taste, without being sweet. The yeast and the malts are a perfect combination to give the beer the taste every brown beer should have. A full bodied beer, with Smooth taste. only down side is the lack of foam. For everywhone who doesnt have taste it, do it when you have the change. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

VictorSA (75) - NORWAY - JUN 6, 2013
330 ml fra Vinmonopolet. Mørk rødbrun med godt lysebrunt skum. Kompleks aroma av rosiner, svisker og vanilje. God, myk og fyldig munnfølelse med friskhet som balanserer dybden og sødmen. Litt gresslig humlesmak, men lite bitterhet. Tydelig varmende alkohol, men godt skjult i forhold til styrken. (Munkegata, 06.06.13)

Dark and stormy look. Aroma is fruity malts and sweet caramel. Taste is perfect for me - not overdone, but sweet caramel toffee, dark fruits and a certain liqueur quality. Brilliant. Palate is sweet lingering but not too sticky. Overall, an extraordinarily well hidden abv and a world class beer. Could drink this one all night long.
