May 14, 2004 Updated: May 17, 2004Bottle dated 19/08/05. Beer pours (in Westmalle glass) a dark brown-red liquid with an enormous amount of cotton-soft topped off-white head that dissipates somewhat, but lingers and looks great. Aroma is of brown sugar, dark plum, raisins, sweet fruit, port, chocolate. Flavor is of plum, raisin, port, only vaguely sweet but brown sugar, chocolate, with a faint, but noticable hop taste which slightly mars this excellent product. Otherwise, the ending is smooth and clean. Also has a wonderful mouthfeel. Sampled at 78 degrees Fahrenheit.

Jun 28, 2005 Heavenly. Slightly murky deep red-brown with a great frothy tan head that lingers. Heavily carbonated. Soft, sweet, not quite as harsh as other Belgians I’ve tried. Dried fruit and that wonderful Belgian yeast. A little woody and nutty. Extremely enjoyable. Is this heaven? No, it’s Westmalle.

Jun 4, 2005 Dark opaque colour with a buby mottled head. Strong malty head. Highly fizzy. Not nearly as malty as the scent. Extremely complex flavor for so few ingredients (sweet apple, maple caramel?)

Mar 12, 2005 This is one fabulous beer. Almost makes me want to become a monk. One of the single greatest beers in the world lives up to it’s reputation in every way.

May 24, 2007 Bottle: Pours deep chocolate brown with a thin light tan head, which adheres to the glass in an interesting way. Mild sweet aroma, hints of fruit and hint of hops. A marvelously balanced flavor with huge complexity. First sweet, a bit of wine-like flavor, with a noticable sour undertone, with a bit of bitterness breaking through, but no note dominates the symphony of flavors. Rich creamy texture. Truly a wonderous, nay, miraculous, perhaps divinely inspired brew.

Jul 6, 2006 Like a warm fruitbread. The other monks and I really enjoy this one. Currents and plump golden raisin notes mingle with the light carbonation...delightful.

Jun 28, 2002 Excellent with a little dinner, after a hot, hard day.

Mar 4, 2003 Try to keep this for a couple of years, and you will get a delicious drier Trappist with a dark-yellow head and a fullbodied malty taste.
