May 16, 2009 Dark brown pour with some ruby highlights. The head is short and white and settles quickly into a wispy swirl. The aroma is malt, light yeast some tart apple and raisin and a bit of alcohol. The flavor was malt forward with light bits of yeast and dark fruits. Alcohol came through. Very nice mouthfeel. Lacks the complexity found in the 12.

May 15, 2009 Very highly carbonated. Nice reddish brown color. Caramel and some fruit with a dash of citrus. An excellent abbey.

May 15, 2009 Pours a nice ruby-red color with a thick creamy head. An enjoyable ride of caramel malts and sweet fruitiness add to a smooth body that masks the alcohol very well. I beer that is both fulling yet surprisingly leaves room for another, and another and... LC

May 4, 2009 Bottle (2009) in a Chimay goblet; poured very watery, with virtually no head- alarmed me slightly. Color of honey/caramel and the soapy bubbles dance for a while on top. Lovely aroma w/ plenty of fruits, plums and apricots being most noticeable; flavor is rich and yeasty, with plums, raisins and figs in alcohol, although the alcohol is more complementary than anything- does an excellent job of keeping the effects of the abv in check; finishes rather dry and vinous, making it quite quenching. Thin bodied, which only adds to its quenching properties. A very tasty brew that quite surprised me as to how much I liked it, but then again, it is from St. Bernardus.
judasbeer (229), Budapest, Hungary
Apr 27, 2009 Pours hazy orange-brown with tons of yeast sediment and diminished, creamy, well-lacing head. Aroma of alcoholic figs, fresh strawberries, plums with spicy edge. Good balance between the gentle toffee and dried fruity sweetness and the crisp, floral hoppy and coriander sipciness. Medium dry and moderate sweet smooth mouthfeel, thick, oily body with heavy and long dry, peppery finale. Not very far from perfection.

Apr 25, 2009 A very tasty, tan/brown belgium ale. Very drinkable, sipping is encouraged. Has a great somewhat fruity nose. Not too heavy on the tounge. A very nice beer.
