Bottle at Firewaters in Atlantic City. Pours a deep brown color with amber highlights into the trappist glass. A quick inch of head and Belgian lace stuck around awhile. Fruity notes accompanied the malty, yeasty scents on the nose. A very complex taste with several flavors rushing the palate. A nice balance between sweet and bitter with fruit, sugar, spices and malt. Excellent smooth finish.

11.2 ounce bottle room temp in Westmalle glass. Dark brown with lasting tan head lace. Yeasty fruity aroma with surprising alcohol burn. Toasty woody malty flavor with mild dark fruit smoke and tobacco bitterness. Medium bosy and low internal carbo. Incredibly soft creamy mouthfeel. A great great beer. My favorite dubbel, which is not a favorite style.

BBE: 01/09/11 sampled 01/08/11 Very old spiderweb laced aroma. Overripe apple, kiwifruit, and coconut notes also present. Opaque brown, huge tan head. nice lacing. Dry and woody rotten apple flavor, with definite spider web accents. Finish is apple skins and barley husks, bordering on cardboard. I wasn’t expecting this to be one of the better trappist ales, but it was distinctly good. I especially loved the mustiness.

Cerveza Trapense de la casa Westmalle. Aroma intenso con finales acaramelados. Acolor marrón obscuro, con una tenue espuma y cuerpo completo.
Sabor agradable, fuerte y un poco alcoholico al final, cumpliendo todas las caracteristicas de una verdadera trapense.
En reumen, una excelente Cerveza.
