Mély,opálos mahagóni színű ital,vékony gyorsan elillanó habbal.Illata fűszeres,élesztős,selymes.Íze aszalt barackos,kellemesen csípős,ott a komló is ami rafináltan keserédessé teszi,ami az utóízben is hosszan kitart.Szép kerek teste van és az alkohol is melegít benne csendesen.Nem minden napi ital nem hétköznapokra.

750 ml bottle. Really warm fruit taste with thick white foam and golden colour. Pretty bitter as most beers of that kind but enjoyable.

It poured a hazy golden liquid with a big bubbly foam which left some nice lacing. Smelled of warm alcohol and dried fruit. My first reaction when I tasted it was that it tickled the top of my mouth it also left an oily sensation. It was a bit sweet with hints of bread and dried fruit.

330ml bottle. Nice head of creamy foam that hangs around. Dark ruby copper in colour with an aroma of fruit and caramel.

Bottle: Flavors come through a bit more reserved as compared to the aroma. Notes of yeasty fresh bread, caramel, nutmeg, banana, orange zest and ripe apple come through. In the end with 1 of 7 trappist in the world I would put this one #2 of the Trappist

Label changed slightly. This was actually inexpensive. Nice deep caramel brown in color. Nice thin head that sits on top and doesn’t fade away. Glad I picked this up because it looks great. Smell is of malt and yeast. I don’t get that deep yeast aroma that I would like to smell, or even that fruity yeast aroma, if you will. Leans more towards the malt aroma. Very much a caramel malt taste. Doesn’t really have too many nuances in the flavor. Yeast comes out slightly in the taste, but too muted for a tripel. Not as carbonated as I thought it would be. It is actually very smooth. Yeast comes out a lot more when this beer warms up. Overall, decent beer, not very complex in the taste, but overall I like it.
