Jul 24, 2007 Updated: Jan 24, 2008Bottle, bought @ Kolding Vinhandel. A soft fog drifts from the mouth of the bottle. Deep red burgundy coloured liquid with a firm off-white creamy head - even though the beer was poured gently. Stunningly complex aroma. Fruity sweet, but with caramel and a little tartness. Vanilla and nuts in there as well. Mouthfeel spreads in my mouth, very bubbly and creamy. There are no indication of the 8 % anywhere. Flavour has raisins, raspberries, plums, roasted caramel, Belgian yeast. Warming and slightly cloying. Wonderfully complex, sweet and wonderful!

Jul 22, 2007 Deep brown with a moderate tan head. Aromas of plain chocolate, dark fruits and caramel. In the mouth, this was smooth to drink despite its strength and balanced malty fruitiness perfectly with a bitter finish. Excellent.

Jul 19, 2007 A part of me actually likes this better than the abt 12. It is more balanced both with aroma and flavor. It’s so good i had an orgasm...while the 12 just gave me an erection.

Jul 18, 2007 Westvleteren Abt 8...what can be said but near perfection. It poured a medium brown colored body with a nice head. The aroma was very sweet and malty with a note of dark fruit. The taste was a malty dream. It has notes of malty goodness, dark fruit, and extremely drinkable despite the complexity. Granted the 12 is better but that by no means detracts from the greatness that is the 8!

Jul 18, 2007 Updated: Jul 21, 2007Bottle, recieved two crates from the abbey. This beer is very good it is very similar in flavor to the 12 with a much lighter alcohol feel. Pours a medium dark brown with lacy head that does not last very long. Very fruitful and sweet with a light alcohol feel and delightfully bitter in the end. Will enjoy the rest of the beers with the same appreciation.

Jul 16, 2007 Bottle, shared thanks to brewing club raffle.
Quite a murky muddy brown pour, wiht fairly quickly dissipating head. Aromas was so strong of vanilla and bright spices. Flavour of rich malty caramel and chocolate. But that aroma is just asotunding.
