Madsnp (606), Odense C, Denmark Mar 17, 2008 Bottle exp. date 09.09.09. Pours a deep brown ale with a big foamy beige head. (..) Still waiting for the head to disappear.. Aroma is fruity with spicy notes of vanilla and caramel. Flavour is sweet and dominated by dark fruits, roasted malt and caramel. Some alcohol i the taste as well. MikesGOTurBeer (3), USA does not count Mar 16, 2008 Maybe it was just too built up, but I was extremely let down. Give me a Nimbus. daknole (2800), Plantation, Florida, USA Mar 15, 2008 A superb beer that I had to order from Belgium to taste the "world’s best beer" I thought the balance of this beer was amazing. The carbonation was perfect, some sweetness, but not overly sweet. Simply delicious. ansermadide (496), Kyle, Texas, USA Mar 14, 2008 Updated: Dec 31, 2008(Sample from March 14, 2008 Beer Club Meeting, 12oz unmarked bottle) A friend of mine had a few of these shipped from Belgium. My review of this beer will be short and sweet. A perfect balance of all my favorite qualities in a beer, wrapped up in one 12 ounce bottle. I don’t think I’ve ever had anything better. MUCH lovelier on the tongue than a St B 12. This will be one beer that I’ll remember to track down for very special occasions. maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA Mar 14, 2008 2004 bottle. Clear brown body with a medium creamy light tan had. Sweet spiced fruity aroma. Sweet spice and light fruit flavor. Medium body with a smooth finish. MoDog (909), Griffith, Indiana, USA Mar 13, 2008 400th Rating: Poured from a 33cl bottle (huge thanks to tytoanderso!) and served in a St. Sixtus trappist glass. This beer poured a muddy ruby brown with a thin head of fizzy tan foam that showed good retention and left behind some attractive lacing. The aroma of the beer was made up of caramel, wood, dark fruits, a hint of chocolate, dusty yeast, and some alcohol. The flavor consisted of caramel, sugar coated dried fruits, plums, raisins, wood, and well hidden alcohol. The mouthfeel was full-bodied and way to easy to drink with light carbonation. Subtley complex and smooth. Slopoke (4), San Francisco, California, USA does not count Mar 12, 2008 The Bier Koenig in Amsterdam is one of the few places I’ve seen it. Very deserving of its rating, reddish and woody, incredible balance of malt and gravity. From one of the best of the Trappist brews. PIVOMAN (15), Gent, Belgium Mar 8, 2008 great taste. what a feeling. when you drink it, you taste the wooden vassels. It’s eating and drinking in one.
