Magicdave6 (4153), London, Greater London, England Jan 10, 2006 Use by date says december 05, so a bit old. Aroma is outstanding, fruity malt. Taste is similar, and light but in a great way that means its very drinkable. Bart (1500), Vosselaar, Belgium Sep 23, 2005 Dark brown-red colour, average head. aroma is heavy roasted, but at the same time something fresh-fruity. Palate is full and soft, creamy. Finish is that "burned" taste, just enough bitterness and a touch of alcohol. I love it. Bov (4780), Bienne, Switzerland Jan 22, 2002 Updated: Dec 29, 2003cloudy brown colour with a fine head, malty and bready, notes of prune, vinegar and vinous, sweet and carbonated, strong alcohol presence, the finish is long, malty with alcohol and fruits JonMoore (1560), Loughborough, Leicestershire, England Dec 25, 2004 Dark murky brown with no head. Aroma has dates, malts and bread. Taste is quite complex; malt is dominant, with spices and alcohol. Medium bodied and drinkable. Very good. Papsoe (11421), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 20, 2005 (Bottle 33 cl) Dark indeed with an almost flat appearance, the CO2 is very low. Lightly sweetish with a lovely almost chocolatey aroma. Soft body with a very discreet hoppiness in the palate. An excellent abbey beer. My version was the original from Vieille Villers in Puurs. Now this is brewed by Huyghe. 080194
