bottle, ca. 3 years old. Golden-amber colour, nearly no head. Aroma of malt and wild berries, slightly sweet. Fruity and very malty, slightly hoppy with a touch of alcohol.

Poured a clear golden color for me. Nice lingering head, not much aroma, but what was there was good. Flavor is better than I expected, better than the Bruin, I was pleselantly suprised with this beer. I good blond!

Straw and golden color. Cloudy in appearance. Aromatic, fruity, ester-filled nose. Flavor explodes. Surprisingly dry and hoppy finish. Complex, big, and round. Some honeydew sensations. An honor to drink.
Vintage version (probably about 8 years old, 1999 or 2000 version). Dirty blonde, with slight haze and medium off-white head. Aroma of mashed-up apples, pears, and custard. Oxidation apparent and I’m really diggin it for whatever reason it works here. 7-3-7-3-13

Acidy top with a golden colour, Sweet taste indeed mix with gummy scent. Some spicy aromas but more sweet taste continues. Such a great beer.

[Sampled in 2004: DK - Sweden: 2-2 in Portugal.] Hazy brownorange look with yeastsediments. Aromanotes of spices, wit and some grapes. Sour in a great way. The notes are something of a mix between a blonde and a triple. Finish is fantastic with a warming alcoholic feeling and nice bitter.

Bottle from JB175. Thanks!

Pours a cloudy, light-amber with a full and frothy ivory tower head. Zesty and citrusy nose, with hints of caronated orange, lemon, and a touch of white wine. Flavor is blunt sweet bread with sublte white grape and a hint of nutmeg. I detect a touch of ginger and oak in there as well. Average mouthfeel but the flavors are spread nicely. Very quaint feeling and tasting beer; reminds me of an autumn night sitting by the fire listening to the wind blow outside my window. I’ve now officially had at least one beer from every Trappiste monastary, thanks to Jason.

Poured a hazy golden with a thick profuse creamy off white head. The aroma was sweet, definite Belgian hints, tad sour, alcohol, some spice and some fruit. The flavor is dry and harsh, a bit acidic at first, hidden belgian must, warm alcohol. The palate was warm and dry.
