Sweet and toasted bready malty, layers of caramel and toffee sweetness, cocoa, lots of dried fruit notes of sultana and raisin, yeast, fig and plum accents coming in, spiced sweet malty finish. Beautiful.

First time trying such a young vintage of this classic. Deep sweet malty with layers of sweet caramel and molasses, yeast, brown sugar, touch of cocoa, a plethora of dried fruit shred, smooth mouthfeel, lingering spiced sweet malty finish. ??

Yes, I finally tried it! On my trip to Europe, when we went to Belgium. Yes it is everything everyone says it is. Though it is third on my list (blasphemy?). I think the Westy 8 was better, as well as the Andech’s Doppelbock. Anyway, I can’t add anymore that hasn’t already been said except great beer.

Bottle at home. Nyilvan a hypeot nem lehet teljes mertekben felretenni egy ilyen sor eseteben, de amikor megprobaltam lehamozni a hirnevet, amit alatta talaltam egy mintaszeruen kivitelezett, balanszos, komplex de nem kifejezetten izgalmas quad volt. Nyilvan azokban az evekben, amikor legendastatuszba emelkedett kozel sem volt ilyen szeles a kinalat, nem volt ennyi vadaszhato whale, ami izombol megboostolta a percepciojat sok fogyasztonal. Jobban belegondolva pont azt kaptam amit vartam, egy hibatlan, stilushu sort, ami ennek ellenere sem lesz soha a kedvencem.

31.08.20 Aromaty wiśniowe, palone pieczone słody, rodzynkowe, figi, śliwki, fajne Piana beżowa mgliste o kolorze brunatno miedzianym. Smaki chlebowe, karmelowe, słodkie; w miarę ogrzewania wychodzą nowe smaki; goryczka niska, ale wyraźna. Nagazowanie duże, średnia pełnia, nie jest gładkie, finisz słodowy. Ogólnie piwo to mnie rozczarowało, zważywszy na opinie i oceny, chyba jednak ten styl nie jest dla mnie. A tak serio piwo dobre warto spróbować, ale nie za taką cenę

Eerste keer gedronken in het jaar van de eclips, 1999. Toen was ik van de kaart. Later mindere edities op. Lang bewaarde versies zijn ook aan te bevelen. Heb er nog van 2014. Doe zijn ook weer top.

excellent!
had to go through alot to get one, but it was worth it
no surprises in the appearance, typical trappist, big thick head. aroma of dried fruits, and a tiny bit of caramel. Flavor is beautiful, very complex, lots of fruit, and caramel, with a tad bit of alcohol to remind you its 10.2%.
extremely outstading brew!
