4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: APR 25, 2010 Best by 05/16/2008. Sampled in my Westmalle challis. The beer pours to an unfiltered deep brown body with a thin khaki head. The aroma is quite fruity with notes of raspberries amongst the strong port wine and fresh unfiltered grape juice. How the heck does it smell this much like grapes? The flavor is a grapey sweet yeasty tobacco-like malt. The palate is creamy and juicy. Nice medium body.

I’ve had this many times, but have just gotten around to rate it. I had a cold, so some of the aromas probablydid not come through as strong. Heavy malt with some sweet dough. Also, a good hint of cherry. Creamy head that completely went away. Brown, with some tiny particles. I poured the whole bottle.Good, dubbel, right on style.

Bottled. Brown colour with beige/brown mediumsized head. Leaves nice lacing. Caramel and malt in aroma. Very fresh aroma. Fruity and malty taste with hints of hops. Aftertaste is made of citrus and hoppy bitterness. Very wellbalanced.

(bottle). Pours orange-gold, molasses in color and appears deep amber in the glass, too thick to see through. Head is light brown, creamy, and heavy, lasting for the duration of the beer drinking process with some spice resting on top. Aroma is doughy, yeasty, bready, and spicy. Very full-bodied and robust on palate with a nice clean finish. Fruity (grapes), syrupy, and a little too sweet in taste. Probably perfect after a big dinner.

Bottle. Hard to believe this is my first time drinking this brew. I was really missing out. This is a truly wonderful dark Belgian that holds its own with the likes of Roch 8 and Westy 8 and other classics.
The pour is alarmingly soda-like, with humongous bubbles on top and throughout the beer, but quickly those fade and you are left with a small ring of tight foam. The nose highlights wonderful sugars, including pear, rum, raisin, caramel, and sugar cane. Lovely, and all I could ask for out of a beer like this. The palate is bright and alive, bringing with it a complex rush of pumpernickel, licorice, raisin, cookie, and a brief molasses and hibiscus finish. Love it.

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.
