4.7 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20Thanks to Jw347 for this rare treat
Bottle poured into my chalice produced a finger worth of off white head that turned to a thin lace. The body was a burgundy color
Aromas of a red wine in some ways tons of dark fruit
Wow great flavors dark fruit malts and a citrus bitter
Great mouthfeel nice carbonation on the tongue
Highly drinkable will seek out again I am enjoying this on and will continue to enjoy it with my Easter dinner as a tribute to the monks

Bottle at home. Had many bottles before but this is my first rate. Hazy but brown copper colour thin whispy cream head. Aroma of bubblegum raisin with toasty notes. Flavour is rich and deep raisin bread caramel . some apples. Crisp really dry finish. Nice Belgian yeast profile. Yum.

bottled. A precious and kind gift from Cuso for my thirsty-five b(eer)-day. Thank you so much! This is Belgian beer perfection! Not so sweet as Rochefort beers which my wife is drinking now parallel to me so I can compare a bit. Overall this beer is utterly fantastic!

4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours deep mahogany brown with a thin cream colored head. Nose of pitted fruit, light pepper. Taste adds vanilla. Body is big but ultra silky. As my wife puts it... I can’t believe I ticked 3 from the monks of westvlertern.

As first strikes me the delicious freshness of this beer. Next to the freshness there is a good balance off spiciness. Taste of maturity and just the right bitterness.
