Apr 12, 2007 Updated: Jun 26, 2007Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Clear amber, brief head. Caramelly grassy nose. Sweet and fairly light bodied with clean, hard mouthfeel. Fairly neutral at first, as it warms more caramel and light cardamom spicyness seeps out. Low bitterness.

Jul 10, 2006 75cl bottle from Carrefour, Calais. Attractive clear amber colour with a lasting thick white head. Malty aroma. Candy sugar, bit of whisky even in the mouth flavours. Nice hoppy tingly finish. Really nice amber actually. Good balance of malt and hop.

Jun 17, 2005 Pretty aged bottle Brown-amber beer with positively ghastly chunks of funk; big bubbles not able to sustain the disparate head. Very fresh-fruity nose, carbonated fruitjuice-like (pineapple?), liquorice and caramel. A fruit caramel! Liquorice, bitterish flavour, partly roasted, burnt malt, partly wood. Rosewater and caramel flavours. Again a quite fruity character. Very little apparent oxidation, no acidity. Slick, because of the protein precipitation, medium bodied, thinner texture than when young. Not bad, has always been one of France’s best - and few original - abbey-style beers. Amber was the original colour. Drank this one from the tap once - in Crespin!

May 31, 2008 Bottle@Home. Caramel and light herbal aroma. Amber color, off-white head, good lace. Sweet, pretty bitter, caramel, herbal biterness, cinnamon, clove, little sticky mouthfeel. Flavorful bit due to the sweetness and herbs not easy going.

Nov 21, 2003 Amber in colour as expected. Aromas are toffee with some metal. Flavours are sweet caramel but quite thin. Has a weak whisky and chemical finish.
