A dark orange cloudy beer with a beutiful head. It has a fresh fruit aroma and tastest slightly acidic and sweet with notes of fruits. Definatly a great beer - but in my world not one of the best two beers - though still high on my list.

Sampled the 1994 version in 2002: Burgundy coloured. Coffee, berries and dark chocolate in the nose. Malty, complex and mature with toffee flavours. Rich sweet finish. Wonderful!

(Bottle 33 cl) Typical trappist: dark, full-bodied with loads of sediment. Lots of malt, lots of spices and a solid dose of hops in the finish. All the good stuff is here. 110194

Has a rocky head, a rich aroma of malt, plums, and raisins and a tremendous palate - huge malt, warming alcohol, some burnt fruit. The finish is a little astringent.

Brown colour with a fine beige head. Alcoholic aroma with malts and hops. Flavor of dried fruit, hops and malt. Bitter aftertaste. An OK beer, but Westvleteren 12 is much better.
