750 ml bottle as "Koningshoeven" Amber in colour with a tight bubbly light tan head. Ferocious carbonation shoots up continually from the bottom of the glass. Lightly fruity aroma, peaches and cream, strawberrys, custard apples, with ever present medicinal hints in the back, with some spice. Sweet apples in the taste..red apples, some strawberry, bitter malt finish, thats long lasting, some tannin in the end too. Very nice comfortably carbonated..great palte. Enjoyable beer for 10%!

Pours with an amber color with lots of sediment and a small off-white head. The beer smells of dark dried sweet fruit, a little of barnyard, yeast, and very dark malt. The beer feels medium to the palate with some light to medium carbonation. The initial flavor of the beer is sweet, and it finishes off with a bitter taste that lingers well after the final sip. A sensational beer that appeals to many different beer tastes!

Bottle @ home. Orange/amber colour with a purple hue. Thin white head. Aroma of sweet fruits, sweet alcohol, some yeast. Reminds me of a candy stick. Flavour is fruity, sweet, balanced by a nice alcohol bitterness. Mouthfeel is very soft and creamy.

Pours an amber color with a small white head. Aroma is of dried fruits and some malts. flavor is much the same but some alcohol shows through. Pretty good, but not worthy of the trappist name.

Big "stone" bottle. Dark red with off-white head. Complex aroma with yeast, fruits (pears) and caramel. Full body, almost oily, with strong carbonation. Beautiful complesx tast of malt and fruit with hints of yeast, caramel, alcohol and spice. Some bitterness, but not obviously hoppy. Not perfectly balanced, but an excellent beer.

Brown pour with big head leaving lots of lacing. Sweet yeast smell. Fairly typical quad taste of malt, caramel, yeast, dark fruit and some alcohol. Good.
