Jan 11, 2009 Quite an interesting beer, although not near the delight of the other Rocheforts. The primary flavor is similar to maple syrup, but the taste changes as it settles on the taste buds. It has a lingering aftertaste in which the alcohol seems to come forth stronger than in the initial sipping.

Jan 11, 2009 Some dusty dry attic on the nose, murky muddy brown, wispy fragile head. Cola forward and pretty fizzy as the body is on the light side of medium. Meh. The carbonic bite is more offensive for such a highly regarded brew. Figgy finish, rough around the edges like an inconsistent homebrew. I seriously need to sit on a bottle for 2 years and try it again, what am i missing here?

Jan 3, 2009 Bottle. Dark amber pour. Classic Belgian complex of fruit, malt, spice, and everything nice. Just fantastic as always.

Jan 3, 2009 Bottle. Aged about a year from purchase. Pours a bubbling dark ruby red with a thin off white head. Light aromas, maybe some sweet malt. Flavors are very sweet hard candy, dMouth is very lively and fizzy, begins to smooth out and almost become buttery. Very easy to drink. Not the Belgium yeast flavors I usually dark caramel, ve trouble with. Complex, different, and tasty brew!

Dec 30, 2008 My favorite Trappist I’ve had thus far. Beautiful appearance and very complex flavor, and a great aroma. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys beer.

Dec 29, 2008 Tasted 20/09/2008. Can’t say I was impressed with this, it really tasted like little more than a watered down version of the big brother. Has the appropriate flavours but to predominantly notice a carbonated water character in a 7.5% beer is not all that appealing. It’s not bad but it’s not what it’s cracked up to be. Perhaps I was feeling a little harsh...
