Oct 13, 2002 Updated: Light plummy aroma. Metallic? Dark cloudy brown - near opaque, large stiff head. Strong and easy. Complex nutty caramel and plum flavors. So smooth with a kiss of lip-smacking dessert wine sweetness that I couldn’t put it down. Warming finish.

Dec 11, 2002 Overly indulgent aroma, reminds me of a whole bunch of different desserts at once -- chocolate cream pie, carrot cake, chocolate torte, caramel, freshly baked eclair, vanilla pudding, and starts to show a little alcohol as it warms...truly incredible. Deep, dark opaque red-brown in color, very solid-looking, with a fluffy, tan head, large bubbles. Flavor is appropriately complex, with a large amount of milk chocolate sweetness, spice cake and fresh, doughy bread. Finish is tangy, nutty, faintly fruity (tangerine??) yeasty, lightly alcoholic and longer than long. Wondrous development, subtle nuances reveal themselves continously. This is just a valuable work of art in liquid form.

Sep 10, 2003 Very very good. A little less up front than the Rochefort 10. We tried it side by side with Westlveteran 8 and we all agreed that the Rochefort 8 was a better beer. Lots of deep, dark fruit flavors - dark cherries, candy, sweet malt. Good hop finish to get you ready for the next sip.

Jan 12, 2004 Updated: May 18, 2005Murky, cherry-mahogany body and a big, tight, uniform, velvety, beige head. Aroma was bitch-slapping me in the face during the pour. Aroma qualities include anise, soy, cinnamon, clove, fried bananas, molasses, leather, heavy musk, earth, and paint fumes. The smell is funky, intimidating and intoxicating. I love it. Flavors include chocolate, big fat ripe black cherries, figs, raisins, wood and varnish. The body is big, chewy and loaded with flavor and texture. This beer is downright native. I’m picturing a dilapidated old barn that houses wooden barrels filled with barley, sugar, hops, water, and yeast, churning away for several months until this murky, funky offensive, and fantastic concoction emerges. My favorite Trappist beer.
