Rich aroma of mildly dark fruits - plum and cherry, perhaps. Ripe hazy reddish amber color with a decent light beige head. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Flavor of caramel, plum, straw(?), coffee, citrus. The finish is lightly astringent, relatively dry, and mildly bitter. A soothing, ripe ale. Mouthsmackingly good.

Pours brown with medium off white head. Aroma is malty with overripe fruits. Flavor has plums, raisins and is malty. Rather complex with a nice alcohol warming finish.

11.2 ounce in Westmalle glass. Brown with dense lasting tan head and lotsa lace. A few floaters. Yeasty aroma with some caramel and more yeast. Raisiny, fruity caramel flavor with tobacco bitterness surprisingly clean finish. Medium body and medium low carbonation. Excellent soft mouthfeel. A very good beer.

330ml bottle. Very dark brown with a decent off-white head. Malty fruit aroma with some chocolate and liquorice. The flavour had a touch of caramel with some spice and a long, smooth finish. Excellent.

11.2 oz bottle, poured into trappist glass. Pours with a murky red brown with a very light, soapy head. A rich, complex aroma of sweet malt and citrus. The flavor starts off strong, with the malt and citrus matched with caramel and coffee undertones. A lingering coffee aftertaste. This beer is great, complex, interesting, just about what you’d expect from St. Bernardus.

(#200) 11.2oz bottle. pours dark and murky brown with a perfectly formed fluffy cream colored head. really an exquisite beauty. strong and complex aroma of citrus, sweet malts, and oaky vinous notes. very smooth velvety palate displays the fullest of bodies. soft and citric with delicate fruit flavors leading to a dusty estery finish. yeast and candy sugar contribute to the rich taste. quite a treat.
