A bottle from the cellar, probably more than 10 years old. Mahogany colour with a cream coloured head. Very rich flavour with notes of dates, dried fruits and molasses. Complex taste and aroma. Wonderful mouthfeel and long, rich aftertaste.

Vintage 2007. Bottle from Beer Mania (Bruxell in 07.06.2010) Price was 14 EUR. Wonderfull smell, beautiful foam and intense dark colour. In mouth Hot palete of aroma. Pyszne piwo pachnace swierzymi przyprawami, ziolami i karmelowymi slodami. Ciezkie, tresciwe i czarne piwo. Alkohol sprytnie ukryty. Piwo jest wzorowym produktem Trapistow, polecam kazdemu te doznania smakowe, nawet tym ktorzy uwielbiaja jasne lagery. Finisz niezwykle dlugi i wytrawny, mozna sie do syta najesc tym piwem, tylko szkoda ze tak ciezko je zdobyc.

Vintage 2011. Special Limited Bottle with Gold sign XII on the front. Coz mocno aromatyczne pachnie wyraziscie winem, jakis rum, sliwki wegierki, czarne porzeczki, jeżyny, mocny aromat posmak tez fajny, wytrawny, subtelnie slodkawy, owocowy. Chmielowe nieco, ale tylko nieco, na koncu jezyka, Jedno z najlepszych piw jest bardzo dobre, unikatowe, ale czy najlepsze chyba raczej nie.

Thuis. Fles. 330ml

Don't know what the fuzz is all about. Happy to not have overpaid for this, although 5 euro still is a lot for a quadruple.
