Nice creamy, bready, malty Trappist ale. Big head but quickly diminishes (good thing as far as I’m concerned). I like this much better than the trippel.

Had a nice malty taste to it, but nothing that really knocked my socks off. That was the first out of my sixer, I’ll re-rate if necessary.

Bottle from BevMo. One of the best dubbels out there. Dark reddish-brown color with a huge off-white head. Aroma is fruit, yeast, and sweet malts. Flavor is malty with dark fruits (raisins, plums, etc). Nice smooth medium-full palate.

Bottle into chalice. Pours a a purplish-brown color, murky, with a thin, fluffy tan head that fades into a thin, creamy cap that lasts the entire beer. Nose is light dark fruits and brown sugar, with some spicy yeast lending a light, doughy character to the smell. Just a hint of spicy alcohol lends some interesting depth. Taste is intense - up front, you get a big, yeasty, doughy malt note full of dark fruit and some brown sugar, followed by a sweet, rich lingering dark fruit note that fades into a dry, slightly yeasty finish. Mouthfeel is crisp, lightly scrubbing, with a fluffy mouthfeel and medium body.

Pours a dark brown color topped with a nice thick foamy tanish head. Aroma is nice and fresh consisting of dark fruits, yeast and a touch of wine. The mouthfeel is creamy, slightly tart and relatively full and rich. The flavor here is some sugary dark fruits with yeast and a touch of roasted malts. Not crazy flavorful but they all blend together quite nicely. The finish is somewhat mellow and clean. This beer is extremely smooth and easy drinking. Another excellent one from the Monks.

There is a lot of stuff going on with this beer: it is flowery, fruity, a good mixture of malts. The taste is even better. I can pick out banana, raisins, chocolate, plums, and other dark fruits. This is a very good beer and also a good step up from the Chimay line.
