| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Aug 6, 2009 Bouteille rapportée de Rome par mes parents ! Bue à 15 degrés C. après une St-bernardus ABT12. Nez incroyable de chocolat, vanille et de caramel avec une très légère pointe de fleur de houblon. Apparence brun translucide et mousse très crémeuse avec un collet persistant. Beaucoup plus équilibrée que ce à quoi je m’attendais. Cette bière a du corps, mais sans être démesuré. Peu effervescente, une légère amertume d’alcool se fait ressentir lorsqu’on avale le liquide. Des saveurs de chocolat, de caramel, de vanille, d’épices et de levure s’entremêlent dans un tout exquis. Quelle bière agréable en digestif de fin de soirée. À siroter dans le calme et l’inspiration du moment. Sublime ! Sonicdescent (376), Donora, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 6, 2009 I didn’t have a problem with this one until I tasted it, and had a second bottle just to make sure. This finishes painfully dry and bitter, and I much prefer Bernardus 12 and the Westy 8 by a long shot. Too much booze and clove flavor. TreborWhip (79), Reading, Pennsylvania, USA

Purchased at the monastery by my son who was kind enough to share a bottle with me. Dark brown with creamy tan head that fades slowly. Drank from a trappist tulip glass. I’ve been drinking beer for 41 years and this is by far the highlight of all of those I’ve consumed. sfhodense (554), Odense NØ, Denmark
