Jul 19, 2007 A part of me actually likes this better than the abt 12. It is more balanced both with aroma and flavor. It’s so good i had an orgasm...while the 12 just gave me an erection.

Jul 18, 2007 Westvleteren Abt 8...what can be said but near perfection. It poured a medium brown colored body with a nice head. The aroma was very sweet and malty with a note of dark fruit. The taste was a malty dream. It has notes of malty goodness, dark fruit, and extremely drinkable despite the complexity. Granted the 12 is better but that by no means detracts from the greatness that is the 8!

Jul 18, 2007 Updated: Jul 21, 2007Bottle, recieved two crates from the abbey. This beer is very good it is very similar in flavor to the 12 with a much lighter alcohol feel. Pours a medium dark brown with lacy head that does not last very long. Very fruitful and sweet with a light alcohol feel and delightfully bitter in the end. Will enjoy the rest of the beers with the same appreciation.

Jul 16, 2007 Bottle, shared thanks to brewing club raffle.
Quite a murky muddy brown pour, wiht fairly quickly dissipating head. Aromas was so strong of vanilla and bright spices. Flavour of rich malty caramel and chocolate. But that aroma is just asotunding.

Jul 13, 2007 0.33l 11.05.10 - Darker than the 12, almost opaque. Shortlived head of larger bubbles, mild nose, raisins and alcohol mostly. Spicy front giving way to astringent, hoppy finish. Nice.

Jul 13, 2007 Pours a dark reddish orange with a nice tan head. Head retention is excellent with some nice Belgian lacing down the side of the glass. Aroma is complex with toffe malt, spices, fruit, and hops. Flavor is equally complex with a notes of caramel, choclolate, fruit, spices, and hops. Finish is slighly astringent with a bit of malty sweetness.
