| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 8, 2010 Delicious beer! Similar to the "10". I taste caramel, chocolate, raisins and nuts. Wolfbass (115), Firenze, Italy
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 5, 2010 Brown color with red reflexes, with beige creamy head. Very rich aroma, complex, fruity. Overall fruit’s aroma, raisin initially has prevalence on the other perfumes, for then to leave space to a light spicy and to an imposing caramel. Medium body. In mouth it slightly begins sweet, evolving in a good taste spicy, arriving to a half ending between the sweetish one and the bitterish one. Also the alcoholic component makes him feel but not in excessive way for the good equilibrium of the beer. The trappistes never betray... Abio (63), Belgium
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 1, 2010 When you buy this one, it’s a good idea to let it rest for 6-12 months before consuming it. The taste you get then is very rich. dkingsella (112), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jan 30, 2010 Pours a medium mahogany with a short lived off white head. Left little to no lacing on the glass. Aroma is doughy with some barnyard and dark fruit. Alcohol is a bit upfront followed by some malty flavors and a fairly dry finish. Not quite as good as I expected to be honest. Much prefer St. Bernardus. matmatmat (6), Connecticut, USA does not count | 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jan 30, 2010 Pours very hazy with quite a bit of sediment. Very dark brown with a creamy colored head. Aroma of dough, a little leathery. Flavors were well balanced , but nothing really stood out. Alcohol taste was actually a bit too forward. A great beer, but for a Trappiste it was a bit disappointing. Cybercat (857), Georgia, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jan 29, 2010 Pours a slightly hazy dark brown, almost a mahogany, with a fairly thick pale tan head that sticks around for a little bit. Strong, malty aroma has an undertone of spices and some fruity hints. Flavor is mainly malty, subtly spicy and fruity, with just a little bit of an alcohol nip. Texture is very smooth yet a little rough on the edges. Worthy! mickut (56), Espoo, Finland
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Jan 27, 2010 Bottle. Pours grayish hazy brown with off-white head. Some loose sediment lumps after several days of settling. Complex aroma has fruits, herbs, peppers, licorice and aftertaste has alcohol and licorice aromas. capoccetta (62), roma, Italy
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 27, 2010 tap. aroma di malto tostato e caramello con sfumature di frutta a polpa rossa e matura.al gusto sempre un buon sentore di carammello bilanciato con una delicata tostatura,persistente. forse spunta un pò di alcol. ma comunque buona.
