Pours brown/in light has red hue. Consistant tan colored head. Malty, chocolatey scent. Creamy sweet body with hints of dark chocolate roasted malt and a metallic character. Rich in flavor with a subtle dry finish.

A very good Trappist beer. Dark reddish colour with good malt and fruit flavours. Poured a nice head which settled quickly. A mild hop finished the taste. This beer had good carbonation being quite acidy.

Dark red colour. Chocolat aroma, with long lasting fruity finish. Nice one..

Bottle. Beer was clear, dark amber-brown colored with a large, frothy, light, diminishing head. The aroma was malty with moderate notes of raosted grain; Hoppy with moderate notes of herb; Yeasty with a light note of dough; Light notes of diacetyl and moderate notes of cardboard-like oxidation. Not nice. The flavor was moderately sweet, lightly acidic and lightly bitter with a long, lightly sweet, lightly acidic/tangy finish. Unclean aftertaste. The body was light-to-medium, the texture was watery-to-velvety and the carbonation was lively.

Bottle. Poured a reddish brown with a tall, frothy, tan head that left light lacing. The head settled out with time. This is one of the few beers I would prefer colder as is turns blah as it warms. The initial aroma found sweetness, banana, and raisin. As it warmed the aroma went to a mix of dark fruits and alcohol. Initial flavor was sweet, honey, and cherries. Again as it warmed the flavor went to a mix of dark fruit. Short aftertaste. Light body and slightly tingly on the tongue.

dark murky brown with no head. dark malt, alcohol, prunes, plum, and cherry aroma. spicy licorice, cherry, plum, brown sugar and caramel flavor. sugary. so far this is the best i’ve tried from this brewery.

Poured from the bottle, a deep reddish brown, lots of carbonation and a slightly off-white thin head. The aroma is yeasty, with plenty of fruit (sweet oranges) and some peppery spice. Very carbonated mouthfeel, yeast again strong in the flavour (and honey), but with a syrupy smoothness than sticks to the tongue.

10:58 K23K1. Konings hoeven label. Pours dark mahogany into a trappist glass. Conglomerate head quickly recedes to the rim. Medicinal fig notes. Full bread, date and fig flavors with a quick, but warming finish.
