Nov 17, 2004 Updated: Oct 9, 2005 Excellent beer. It has a raisin and chocolate taste to it which is quite good. It is probably the best Belgian I have had to date. There are many more to try. Even better the second time.

Jan 23, 2005 this beer is fantastic. it’s a tad less complex and weaker than the 10, but still damn near perfect. everything is wonderfully balanced and the feel in the mouth is smooth yet exciting. dark fruit, plums, brown sugar, a bit of citrus, coffee, toffee, malt, chocolate flavors all harmonize with eachother in this dark, dark, slightly amber beer. the head is moderate with smallish bubbles with nice lacing and a moderate realease of gasses. this beer is complex and delightful. cheers!

Feb 27, 2005 Cellar Temp. Deep burgundy with a silky tan head. Aroma is an artful vinous malt. Explosive flavors of dark fruits, figs, and raisins. Effervesces on the tounge. Just Great.

Oct 16, 2005 Updated: Mar 12, 2006Wonderful ruby brown trappist beer. The head is a little thin. The aroma is a symphony of dried fruit, banana and spices. A taste of plum caramel and a hint of chocolate. Fine balance between sweet malt and alcohol.

Jan 19, 2007 Bottle. Dark brown, cloudy, with a thick white head. Fruity aroma with some sweetness. Pleasant, somewhat creamy mouthfeel with a moderate carbonation. Flavor is fruity, with some yeast character and well integrated sweetness and alcohol.

Jun 17, 2006 Updated: Dec 8, 2006I thought this was one of the best beers I have ever tried. If this is that good then I can’t wait to try the 10.
Re-rate: the 8 is better than the 10.

Jul 22, 2006 Updated: Aug 21, 2006Musty, funky yeast aroma- dried prunes and subtle banana. Pours a thick brown color, with a dense, cloud-like head. Flavors are deeply complex. Smooth roasted malts, dark fruits, some clove spice and a bit of alcohol warmth finish things off. Probably my favorite of all, due to the rich complexity and balance of flavors.
