Dark brown pour, with steady small white head. Spicy and citrus aroma, flavor of sugar malts and dry citrus fruit. Finish is very spicy and you can taste the alcohol.

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

Dec 17, 2009 From a 750ml bottle. This pours a cloudy dark brown with a nice white head. Initial taste is a variety of fruits followed by maltiness and some bitterness.

Dec 13, 2009 A cloudy reddish-brown, with pine, alcohol, demerara and dried fruit on the nose. A big chewy fruity palate with a little banana, a little prune, a hint of oak, and a slightly dry and salty finish.
