Heads up very nicely. Aroma of chocalate, caramel, toffee - very very nice. The head is rather dry and, like the tripel, my first thought is that the alcohol dominates the flavor too much. Also, it’s really rather thin in character. Not a top-of-the-lind double to me.

Delicate nose with yeasty and raisiny aromas. Brown base color with a slight red tinge. Nice tan leggy head. Sweet flavor up front that is spicey, nutty and has hints of honey. There is a woody finish that is slightly dry. Nice boost of taste from the alcohol. Complex palette. Mature and well-balanced. Enjoy this best by itself.

Bottle, aroma of yeast and sweet fruit. Murky brown body with tan head. Decent mix pf fruity flavors along with some sour bitterness mixed in. Smooth on the palate with a sticky fruit aftertaste lingering on finish.

Hazy dark brown colour with a nice off-white head. Aroma of cherries, raisins, plums and other sugars-all with a malt background. Medium to Light-bodied; Mild sweetness with strong bittering malt. Not much flavour-definately lacking-not what I had expected. Aftertaste is bland as well, not too great-only some malt showing. Overall, a nice treat, but not as good as I had expected. I got this 33 cL bottle courtesy of my sister's fiance which he got from Belgium! I sampled this one on 27-November-2003.

Bottle from LCBO. Ruby brown with a very slight haziness and a large off-white head. Nose is light but very nice, with sweet malt and dark fruit notes. Soft mouthfeel. Great flavour - brown sugar, raisin, spice, roasted malt, a hint of yeast. So easy to drink, this might be the first Trappist that I could imagine making a session beer.

11.2oz bottle pours dark brown with a short offwhite head that stays pretty well and laces some. Aromas of big raisin, caramel, slight chocolate, candi sugar. Flavor is roasty notes, caramel, raisin, candi sugar, and light chocolate. Palate is airy but full bodied. Feels soft in the mouth. Easy drinking. Nice brew..

Strong plum/wine aroma. Powerful head that leaves a nice lace. Slight lingering alcohol aftertaste. The taste of dark fruit is surprisingly good. The bottle that I had was 10 months old. The next one I get will be aged for at least two years.

Bottle conditioned. Richly malty aromas with alcohol raisins and faint roast aromas. Balanced and very drinkable. Rich and tasty but lacking depth.
