Bottle. Pours a deep mahogany. Very rocky beige head that took a while to fall away. Some lacing. Aromas show plenty of dark fruit, a little sweet malt and perhaps just a little alcohol. Tastes once again of dark fruity with pelnty of fruity esters and typical belgium yeast aromas. Mohtfeel is a little thin and the carbonation seemed slightly too high to me. Not too bad.

Pours a deep red with a fluffy, off-white head that lasts long. Lots of great fruit on the nose. Full, round, chewy mouthfeel. Esters are throughout the entire taste palate, with great balance - some spice at the back of the palate. Lots of carbonation as well.

Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Pours a nice dark reddish amber color. Aromas of fruit, and some other hints, maybe some spices, maybe caramel. Flavor is a bittersweet, malty, and a hint of hops with a nice bittersweet finish.

Pours a clear amber color with a thick, lasting, foamy, off-white head. Quite complex aroma of fresh bread, caramel, brown sugar and spice. Flavor is less sweet then I expected, with the spices dominating and a nice bitterness that comes straight on. There is still some sweetness and very lively carbonation. Nice beer.

Bottled. Pours a mysterious cloudy amber with big frothy head. Aroma of green apple, caramel, molasses, earth and leather. Taste is somewhat sour and salty though not overly so, slight bitterness in finish. Palate has a lot of carbonation; very alive.

Nice dark cherry aroma with Belgium yeast smell. Cloudy dark amber with a tan two-finger head. Medium mouthfeel with a little carbonation present. Almost too sweet fruity flavor but isn’t, it is just right. This is a great beer. Highly recommended.

Opálosan ködös,sejtelmes vörösesbarna színe van amit befed egy bézs színű apró buborékos hatalmas és kemény hab.Mintha egy krémes sütemény has teteje lenne,majdnem annyira kitartó is.Illata karamellás,mazsolás és korianderes.Íze egy alkoholba áztatott aszalt gyümölccsel és marcipánnal töltött karácsonyi süteményre hasonlít,aminek dió is van a barna tésztájába keverve.Fűszerekkel is szépen megvan szórva ez a süti de nem túl tolakodóan.Testes,olajos itóka az alkohol is kellemesen melegít és az apró pezsgőszerű buborékok finoman csiklandozza a szájpadlásunkat.Utóíze kellemesen keserédes,szőlős és komlós.Hosszan tart és hiányérzetet okoz,tehát gyorsan pótolni kéne egy újabb palackkal.Valami ördögit tudnak ezek a trappisták!

2 years old bottle, pours copper red with large off-white fizzy long lasting head nicely lacing. Burnt sugar and toffee in nose. Malty sweet flavor with a dry bitter finish. Nice filling mouthfeel.
