Feb 6, 2008 Bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Borisz, I wish I shopped in your local grocery store! Pours cloudy orangish-brown with frothy head. Slightly sour aroma of citrus and pine, with some dark fruits. Taste is smooth, with raisins, toffee. Taste is somewhat bland and the beer seems thin. Disappointing.

Aug 8, 2002 muddy brown - reminded me of fine corinthian leather (ha ha). Starts with a creamy carbonated mouth feel that gradually thins. Yeasty and toffee flavors dominate with some fruitiness poppin’ in once in a while. finished very dry.

Jun 1, 2006 I like Belgians, but this one - although nice - was a tad disappointing in the flavor department. Large beautiful head (at least two fingers) on pouring, which sustained itself quite nicely with decent carbonation in the body and mouthfeel. Dark brown and cloudy in appearance. Aroma was a really strong wine / alcohol type smell. The flavor was malty and semi sweet, but finished with a somewhat surprisingly bitter ending.

Mar 29, 2004 Updated: Dec 8, 2008Bottle – Poured a red/brown quite opaque brew with a huge head with standard retention. Great carbonation with strong body. Aroma is very spicy with no alcohol noticeable. Taste is great with the usual Belgian style mix of malts and hops with some added roastiness to that one. The spice mix is a bit stronger then expected but overall very enjoyable. Overall, this is a good beer but I was expecting something greater from this well known Trappist.
Re-rate 2008: Creamy texture, no alcohol, bubblegum-like taste. Very well balance from a very fresh bottle. Wow

Aug 28, 2005 Pours with a deep amber body topped by a thick head with a good amount of lacing. It’s sweet and malty with nice candy sugar notes, a little spice and a touch of hops. Full bodied, warming and slightly dry.
