Definitely one of my favorite trappist beers and one of my favorites in general. Dark, fruity, tremendously smooth, and a great finish...this beer is worthy of further recommendation.

Bottle. Served cellar temperature. Pours dark reddish brown with a foaming, huge, long lasting head that settles into a short creamy coffee-like foam. The aroma has a lot of cherry, some alcohol, raisin, lighter milk chocolate. Mouthfeel is medium, with some tail end wateriness that is unfortunate. I taste chocolate, dark cherry, a hint of the raisin from the aroma. The alcohol seems well masked.

I was never really a big fan of Abbey Ales but this was was pretty good. Pours a dark caramel colour and that’s all I remember because I had a lot to drink that day. I drank this out of a trappist glass.

(bottle) pours a dark, ruby-brown colour with a huge frothy off-white head. aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, bread and vanilla, light hop spices and cassis. subtle flavour of roasted malts, green apples and chocolate over a herbal-hoppy backdrop. medium body, with soft carbonation and a delicate bitter finish.

a smell of yeast and something like a pleasant distilled spirit. a pitch dark body and a thick beige head that stays. tastes slightly sour, burnt, and is dry. it is very thick and creamy, an absolutely great mouthfeel.

A good deep flavored trappist ale best served in a trappist glass. Moderate sedimentation for an unfiltered ale.

11.2 ounce bottle room temp in Westmalle glass. Dark brown with lasting tan head lace. Yeasty fruity aroma with surprising alcohol burn. Toasty woody malty flavor with mild dark fruit smoke and tobacco bitterness. Medium bosy and low internal carbo. Incredibly soft creamy mouthfeel. A great great beer. My favorite dubbel, which is not a favorite style.
