4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 zimbo (328) - - JAN 20, 2013Good god what a nose. Beautiful deep plummy figgy chocolatey nose. Profound and complex.If the aroma could talk it would speak like James Earl Jones.
Pours deep red brown with almost purply highlights and eventually forms a contant strong thin line of head.
Tastes like it smells. Like having your mouth massaged with chocolate. Body is slightly acidic yet firm bit in time integrates and leads to an outstandingly long sappy sweet soft smoothness.

Smells spicey, a little fruity, and a little boozy. Taste is really smooth, some sort of spiceyness.

Heerlijk biertje. Flink zoet met een hoog karamel gehalte. Veel karakter en diepgang. Na een half glas wordt het biertje wel een beetje veel, maar toch zou ik zo een tweede nemen.

Poured a dark brown with light tan head. Smell of malt, prunes and raisins. Smooth taste of fruit with the alcohol well hidden. Great beer with an awesome palate.

This is such an outstanding beer. So clean and smooth, with great mouthfeel. An intensely rich and dark fruity taste. This is the pinnacle of trappists.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Leepe_steven (75) - BELGIUM - MAY 15, 2013
Pours very dark brown colour with some ruby hints at the sides of the glass. Very small creamy off white head. Aroma has dark fruits, alcohol, some sweetness. Taste some sweetness,dark fruits, alcohol a little bit overwhelming, bitterness. Aftertaste is malty and lingers and is very good. Think the 6 and 8 are better, but that’s just my opinion.

4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20 Michbeerlover (100) - - MAY 15, 2013
Pours a murky dark brown, like apple cider with a lot of cinnamon in it. No head. Nice aroma of dark fruit, fig, dates and slight alcohol. Taste matches aroma. Mouthfeel is medium too heavy with medium carbonation. Great beer, but it catches up with you because of the high ABV. Drink this one at home.....
