May 13, 2008 Updated: Jun 10, 2009Bottle. 1998 vintage drank in 08. Hold up well even to the test of time. Pours dark brown with a kacki beige head. Aroma is dark fruit, that Trappist flavor, caramel. Mouthfeel is a tingling sensation as the somehow remaining spicy carbonation still persists. Flavors become more pronounced as this beer warms as with the 8. Finishes with hardly any etoh. Awesome.

May 12, 2008 Bottle. Light dark fruit aromas. Very dark brown with a tan head that left quickly. Hints of cola and tobacco. Full bodied; sharp but creamy carbonation. A cascade of different flavors. Malt. Possibly chocolate. Fruit is probably present bu not clearly distinguishable - perhaps raisin. To quote Marcus: It just tastes like Vestvleteren.

May 12, 2008 The Holy Grail of Beer!!! The first seconds are sweet but the carbonation quickly takes it away and brings in the aroma. Though it is 10.2% it doesn’t taste like it, though it does warm your throat long after you swallow.

May 9, 2008 No wonder that this is among the worlds greatest beers! Ive tasted this several times. Fantastic beer with great full body. Notes of roasted malts, dark fruits, caramel, yeast and brown sugar. Fantastic!!!!

May 8, 2008 BIG thanks to jjpm74! Finally got my hands on the mecca of all beers. Enticing, sweetish aroma. Color is dark, murky brown. Pours with a big, white head. Sweet malt flavor up front closely followed by a balancing hit of bitterness. Rich complex malt, hop bitterness and complex fruit flavors dance in my mouth. The attack on my tastebuds is incredible. This beer has a long lingering finish that just won’t quit. There’s also a touch of alcohol warmth to the finish. I love the balance of this beer. Easily one of the best beers I’ve ever had. Delicious! I wish I had more.

May 3, 2008 Pours a cloudy brown with a medium sized off white head. Aroma of sweet fruit. The thing that makes this beer so good is the balance. Nice sweetness, good fruit flavor, and some sugar as well. The 10.2% ABV isn’t noticeable. Wish they had some bigger bottles :)
