| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 18, 2008 Updated: Apr 17, 2009[Rated 3.18.2008] Pours darker reddish brown with a large foamy beige head that fades into a creamy forth. Delicious malty, woody, toffee aroma. Sweet rich molasses malt, vinous, somewhat tangy/sour with a bitter woody finish. Very lively vacant mouthful, too vacant, detracts from the flavor (smoothes out after 15 minutes of sitting open). Considering how rich the flavor is, I wish it was a little fuller in body. Similar to Pannepot Danish edition. Could definitely use another year + of aging. 9.5.8.4.17
[Rerate 4.17.09] Pours a dull opaque reddish dark brown with a thick frothy beige head 4.5. Fantastic rich malty nutty aroma, slightly vinous. Sweet nutty first taste, very authentically trappist, yesty, darker candi sugar, pretty rich but more towards cloying and sugary, noticeable hops, some citrus like juiciness, woody cheesy finish with a bitter aftertaste 8.5. Medium bodied, slightly chewy, larger abundant fluffy sharp carbonation. "Age me" this says. 9.5.8.4.17 lassem (307), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 16, 2008 Bottle 33 cl. As any other dolle you hardly get the cap off before the beer shows it self. (Remember a tissue).A medium body where you clearly sense the alcohol and burned malts and wood. The nose is quite light with hints of rusty water and sour fruits. The head is thick and lasts all the way. fluffy (229), Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 14, 2008 11.5oz bottle into tulip glass. poured creates a thick sticky head with a light brown color foam. beer color is dark brown and almost opaque. scent was sweet of cherries and raisins. sips of strong alcohol that burns after a few seconds, almost like a whiskey. subsides a bit as it warms. flavors of apple and caramel washes over pallette. overall a good beer, but potent. tripelthreat (81), Soquel, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 14, 2008 From a goblet. Huge, dense, finely bubbled head over a murky reddish brown body. A great initial nose of plum, raisin, and spice. The flavor is caramel and fruit with some yeasty spiciness. The sharpness of the carbonation detracts from the flavor until it dissipates. Towards the end of the glass, the tart, woody qualities take over on the aroma and flavor with a touch of bitterness. tronraner (1917), Seymour, Tennessee, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy brown with huge beige head and very active carbonation. The aroma is mellow and sweet, with caramel, various fruits, a slight vinous note, and a touch of spicy alcohol. The flavor is full of dark fruits. Plum, raisin, even a little bit of black cherry hit the mouth first, then a soft caramel sweetness. A distant woodiness gives just a little bit of bitterness. The finish is slightly dry and rather vinous, but quickly melds into an aftertaste full of golden toast. All of the flavors here meld so gracefully into one another, and everything is nicely rounded. This is quite a well-made brew. bhensonb (4286), Woodland, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Mar 9, 2008 This one climbed out of the 33 cl bottle from Monument in Concord, CA. Rich, dark yeast and fruit aromas. Spicey. Dark mahogany color with an active tan head. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Something like a light oporto flavor with heavy bread. Yeast spice all over with notes of raisin and prune. Not to mention caramel. Finish has some oak hints, and is rather surprisingly dry. Very pleasurable concoction.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 6, 2008 Caramel colored with a fleeting khaki crown. Medium strength sweet, yeasty candy sugar earthy aroma. Dusty dark malt taste at first sip with spices and a light pit fruit sweetness to finish. Underwhelming. 6107
