4.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20The aroma is of sweet candy sugar; syrupy with a subtle spiciness. Incredible off-white head - it’s thick and pillowy (reminds me of the foam on a root beer float. The color is deep, dirty brownish-orangish. The taste is wonderfully complex. It starts moderately sweet then gets very roasty/malty with an earthy hoppiness and a nice touch of alcohol and spice tones. Very smooth. The flavors coat the mouth and throat and just linger "forever". This beer was unexpectedly (but pleasantly) complex and hoppy; just excellent.
Notes: Tasted 23 Jan 10 at In de Vrede (no bottles available to go)

This beer is amazing. Don’t drink it too cold or you will miss out on a lot of the great flavors

Blijft het allerbeste bier van de wereld. De smaak is geweldig en blijft lang hangen in je mond.

This beer is clearly overrated. Of course, it is excellent, but there are several Trappist beers that I would rank better, and a handful of other traditional breweries that most certainly rank higher. The beer is very sweet, due to the extracts and syrups that they have started to use over the last few years. It looks beautiful (reddish brown), is wonderfully carbonated, and tastes very nice with a clean finish, but is not as mind-blowing as I would have expected. I would take De Struise’s ostveletren 12 or Achel over this one. That being said, this brew is still excellent.

A lovely reddish brown burgundy color with a compact off-white head. Nose is caramel, raisins, vanilla, cherries, dried fruit. Taste is complex: raisins, dried fruit, dates, figs, caramel, toffee. Lingering notes of caramel with creamy textures coating the mouth. Very very good, but does not quite live up to the hype.

Bottle from 16 Tons, Eugene. So, I must preface this review by saying that I’m not very inclined towards abts in general, but I passed a glass of this guy around last night when friends were over. Pretty good, but there are definitely beers in this style that I prefer. Pours a very dark cloudy brown, lots of particulate. Aroma is amazing, sweet, candi sugar, malt, prunes, vanilla, dried fruit, cherries. The body is lively enough, and the finish hits very boozy, with subtle almond notes. A good beer but I wasn’t gobsmacked.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Not all that its hyped up to be. Lots of spicy floral flavor. Alcohol very present throughout the serving. Good body but the depth meat and character are no where on par with the number one beer in the world. Prefer rocherfort 10 or the malheur 12 better.

The best beer I ever tried.. Full of flavour, has a roasty floral aftertaste... It feels full in mouth and has some caramel flavours in the palate.. If this can help the ones who would like to try the beer, have a look on :

Spectacular, stunning, unique, adjectives fail me for this beer. One of the best beers I’ve tried.
