Malty on the nose, caramel, bready, fruity with figs, dates, dark cherries. Pours dark brown with a thick tan head. Caramelly malts, a light toasted flavor, highly carbonated, slightly fruity with raisons, light figs with hints of spicy hops. Great trappist yeast flavors.

Poured into a Tulip glass. Redish brown color, with an offwhite head. Aroma is pretty malty, with a touch of sweet dried fruits.
Reminds me only slightly of the Westmalle Tripel I had from them not too long ago, another solid brew.

11.2 oz bottle, pours dark reddish brown with a towering beige head. Subtle aroma of caramel malts, brown sugar and dry red wine. Flavour of caramel malts, fruity notes and that dry red wine-ish quality. Quite good, though below expectations.
