Bottle: After the double this is one is slightly behind, a bit too strong offsetting other flavors. Finish is a bit rotten.

Most surprising beer at Trappist tasting 5/8/08 Colorado Springs. Nice golden appearance but the thing that got me right off was the nose. This is definitely the malt brother of the Quad, which I love. Fruit and light toffee, banana, taste is very close, though reduced some. Finish is bitterish which is nice for a beer this loaded with flavor. The Westmalle has better balance and subtlety, but I think I may choose this in a pinch over that classic and not have too many regrets.

Bottle. Color is amber with a huge white head. Aroma is fruity and sweet with notes of banana and citrus. Moutfeel is really sweet with a fruity and sweet flavor and a warm aftertaste.

Amber color with a creamy, white head. Hoppy and spicy nose. Bitter, spicy with malt taste. High carbonation and a full body. Balanced, bittersweet finish.

Color is hazy copper-orange. White head is thick and lacy. Aroma is fruity and spicy with banana and alcohol. Sweet flavor is much fruity, spicy and yeasty. Maybe a bit wheat malty also. Aftertaste is quite dry, fruity and long-lasting. Medium-bodied, very smoothly carbonated and foamy palate. Alcohol can be felt but hardly tasted.

Bottle. Colour hazy reddish orange-brown, smal white head. Fruity aroma with some yeast and banana, a hint of lemon. Flavour is malty and fruity, with a nice sweet and warm aftertaste. The weakest Trappist beer I’ve had so far, but still very enjoyable.

Stonework bottel 0.5 l. Bought Kvickly Hilleroed. Color clear golden amber with white head. Pleasnat sweet raisinlike aroma with spicy notes - justa perfect note of corianter and alcohol. Taste is sweet,longlasting and slightly bitter, the coriander is by no means dominant but is present im a perfectly discrete way. Mouthfeel soft with nice carbonation. The classical deeds of the Benedicitins are kept in this beer - simplicity and love.

Bottle. Head is quite small and dense. Liquid is a bit hazy and reddish orange/copper in colour. Rich and sweet maltiness with yeast and fruits like banana and some citrus fruits. Something "dark" in the malts, maybe burned sugar? Long and enjoyable finish with hoppy bite and some alcohol. Body is quite full and thick. Dries in the finish. Medium carbonation. Maybe a bit simple tripel that has great finish.
