33 cl bottle, best before 02-2010: poured clear amber with a huge off white head. Drank at cellar temperature, about 68 degrees. Moderate bubblegum and dough aroma. The flavor? Pretty huge. Bubblegum notes, big alcohol, cognac-like flavors with not quite the alcohol. I would love this a little cooler but as it is, it’s pretty damn good.

The only Trappist ale I tried before this one was Chimay Bleu, which I didn’t think was that fantastic. Although I figured I should give the style another shot, and I am happy I did. This brew doesn’t have the overwhelming alcohol flavor like the Chimay, and it’s flavor is very enjoyable. I just might try another Belgian strong!

Pours a cloudy, orangish golden color with a big, white, lingering head. The aroma is strongly malty sweet with a touch of alcohol. Full body with little carbonation, the flavor is thick and malty sweet with hints of alcohol, yeast, and nuts. Finish is mildly hoppy and spicy. Very nice.

This beer poured a reddish amber and formed a bubbly off white head that left circular lace as it subsided. A good amount of carbonation is present. An aroma of malt, herb and bread. A flavor of malt and citrus with a warming slight presence of the alcohol. A slight tart finish on a light body brought on in part, no doubt, to the heavy carbonation. Not a bad tripel.

This brew had a large creamy thick head that was long lasting. There was lacing on all sides of my glass. The aroma was fruity and spicy. It had a spicy flavor. Its body was an orangish color and cloudy. It had a somewhat bitter taste to it with a slight aftertaste. I really enjoyed drinking this particular brew.

Pours a dark amber, with a decent white head. The aroma is a candy sugar, sour fruit, and yeast. The taste is pretty much the same as it smells.
