Bottle. Cloudy brown pour with large beige head. Sweet, fruity aroma. Dark fruity taste, sweet, caramel very Belgian. A decent Belgian abbey beer.

Poured from Bottle with a best by 10 xx xx date into a goblet. Pours a murky brown with some floaties. Thick creamy head disappears into a lid with somewhat inconsistent lacing, sometimes thick, sometimes none at all. Smells exceptional. Floral, sweet, fruity. Very similar to the Westy 8. If the flavor is even close to that, I have found my new go-to beer and a new favorite style. Drumroll...it is similar! A nice sweetness but not cloying, with a taste mostly of grapes. A nice hint of bread and cola as well. Mouthfeel is a tad more carbonated than the Westy, but the body is very good and light. Drinkability..this is my new go to beer. It’s not nearly as difficult to find as the Westy of course, but still not extremely easy to come by here.

Dark brown in color. Aromas are sweet and spicy especially cinnamon. Nice aromas. Not really as thrilled with flavors or palette. Light and quick. Didn’t really stick with me.
