Aug 10, 2008 Driied fruit, sweetly malty, raisins... A very good belgian once again but doesn’t quite end up in the top tier.

Aug 10, 2008 This beer looks absolutely beautiful. Dark brown in color with a very large, long lasting, foamy head. Looks almost too good to drink. Aroma is malty, sweet, and slightly alcoholic. The taste is so complex. So well-balanced with flavors of raisins, figs, caramel, slight chocolate and traces of alcohol. The alcohol is well hidden, though. Medium body, feels a little thick in the mouth. Overall, a fantastic beer!

Aug 10, 2008 Pour a dark ruby brown in color with a nice two inches of head. Smell is belgian candy sugars, some plum and some light yeast. Taste is more of the plums and dark fruits. Incredibly creamy and big on the mouthfeel. A hint of spice in the taste at the end of each sip. Very good beer. Luxurious in the mouthfeel. Great beer, but not as complex as the Rochefort 10, which is still my fav.

Aug 9, 2008 Updated: Sep 24, 2008Pours dark, deep red with a fizzy, active head. Smells like dark fruit. Tastes of plums, grapes, other dark fruits. Fizzy, malty mouthfeel with a biting alcoholic finish, below average to on my palate. Flavor gets better as it warms and it becomes easier to drink as you get used to the bite. Very complex beer.

Aug 8, 2008 Aroma smells of ripen fruits, yeast, and chocolate. The taste is sweet, but not overbearing. Very balanced with sweetness and roasted malts. Goes down easy, but a little carbonated.

Aug 7, 2008 Bottle & tap on several occasions @ Café Gollem. Dark brown, beige head. Aroma of dark fruits, mouldy yeast (typical of St.Bernardus beers), chocolate. Taste is very sweet, almost cloying, but perfectly balanced by the dark fruits, roasted malts and dark chocolate flavours. Thick and creamy mouthfeel. Very good when bottled, superb from tap.
