Bottle. Pours a raisin bruin body with an off white fluffy head. Dark fruity ester aromatic character of plum, raisins, dates, and fig. An unsweetened jam body with a chewy lush vinous core. Plum and caramelized malt, woody vinous notes, with some yeast y spices. Candi sugar, toffee with a modest alcohol warming, finishes dry with abundant fruity esters. I need to age some bottles of this, awesome!

Dec 23, 2009 750->Trappist glass: Pours a huge, frothy, brown head atop a dark brown body. Aroma aroma with some cereal and milk mixed in. Medium bodied, good carbonation, and a creamy metallic mouthfeel. Moderately sweet in taste and lightly bitter. A truly great beer!

Dec 23, 2009 This was a great experience for me. I had it on tap at my local bier garden. Poured a chocolatey brown and red color. Very dense. Smell reminded me of a farm for some reason, sort of barnyardish. Taste was very earthy and sweet to me. Best beer I’ve had.

Dec 23, 2009 Wow! I think I’ve had other St. Bernies before, but this one is a whole different universe. A full-bodied, fruity cornucopia of flavor. Quite a bit cheaper than Rochefort 10, I’d like to compare them side by side.

Dec 22, 2009 Bottle 33cl.
Pours a murky brown colour with a good size head and good carbonation.
Very strong aroma of chocolate, fruits and roasted malt, great balance.
Taste is excellent, lovely balanced fruits and malts and goes down with a lovely bit of warmth.
Great beer!

Dec 20, 2009 Updated: Dec 21, 2009Bottle 750ml. Amazing. Aromas of burnt malt, caramel, apple, and alcohol. Flavour is long-lasting, with sweet and bitter notes playing beautifully. Palate is creamy, and full-bodied. Brown colour, with a creamy long-lasting head.

Dec 18, 2009 Updated rating: 330 ml bottle - side by side with the newly released 21st Amendment Monk’s Blood; dark brown and almost a gusher before a quick pour; off white head remains as thin film; wow, i’m not sure how they do it (the water?) but nothing quite smells like a true trappist quad; musky sweetness with dates, raisins and sugary goodness; rich texture and decadent, silky mouthfeel; creamy, yeasty goodness; it’s not just the flavors, but more the textures in your mouth really push this over the top; i certainly under-appreciate this brew and need to revisit more often like I did tonight
Original rating 3/8/09 (3.9 overall): 330 ml bottle - clear dark brown with rising off-white head; thick aromas of fruit, dates and sugar; medium to light body becomes slightly creamy; flavors are strong yet smooth; alcohol is hidden; slightly dry aftertaste with a lingering nuttiness; will be drinking plenty more of these down the road
