Medium irregular head. A bit sticky to the glass but not much. Clear amber bear. Aroma: some malty sweetness, fruits (banana) and also some alcohol popping up. Taste is very well balanced. Some hop bitternes, malty sweetness and fruits.. Medium body. Average carbonation. Medium long aftertaste.

Pours a nice burnt amber with a huge rocky light brown head. The nose is that of banana bread with a nice nutty character. Also a little bit of earthiness. The flavor is highly carbonated with a nice roasted character and the banana bread comes through the finish with a nice floral hop finish.

A dark nutty brown with a creamy foam head. Wonderful banana aroma. The flavor is like a good home made banan bread with just a little hint. A little later I detected hints of carob as well. Very blanaced but a quickly faiding tail. Loved this beer.

330ml bottle at The BrewPub in Copenhagen. The ale turned out to be a nice partner to Danish Sheep’s cheese served in the restaurant section. Copper body under a huge, beige head. Sweet fruity aroma. Light caramel taste offset by yeastiness in the finish. Fizzy and moderate mouthfeel (13.01.2007).

The aroma has caramel, yeast, alcohol, and brown sugar. The appearance is red/brown with a really big head. The flavor is like the aroma with lots of sweet sugar and plenty of bitterness. The palate is thin. Overall it’s good.

A very strong head, well carbonated. Malt & chocolate sweetness balanced by a cirtic fruitiness. Alcohol in the finish, but not unpleasent. Better than their blond 8, in my (worthless) opinion. Lighter than other dark Trappists and satisfing.
