Trappist ale brewed with spices. We brewed a beer that we describe as 'slightly unruly'--our Trappist 8 is a beer you must take time to understand. Chestnut-colored and bottle-conditioned, with aroma of herbs and spices; initially floral and slightly sweet; character develops from light caramel to a lovely, dry, hoppy bitterness as the flavor opens. Brewed within the walls of Zundert Trappist Monastery by monks.

Bottle shared. Thanks Shuichi! Malty nose with nice yeast character. Some light mustiness. Light honey and biscuit as well. Slight peppery bitterness on the finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Zundert 8 on 18 Jun 2016 at 16:20 - Score: 7. Original review text: Malt driven with nice yeast character.

Amber color. Very malty, estry nose, apricot and bready nose. Full body, dry, but not with great depth, slightly phenolic. Dry finish. Meh. Nose is good but a bit lame after that

Feb. ’16. A 0.33 l bottle that poured a clear golden body with a huge head atop. Weak, sweetish malt aroma, sugar, coriander, some yeast and elderflower. Flavor was lightly sweet, fruity, light caramel somewhere. Thin, watery otherwise, quite weird. Finish was lightly bitter and only lightly warming, but all very short. Unimpressive Belgian ale, how could this get a trappist license?. Alcohol was very well hidden, true, but they hid everything else, too. One of the worst tripels tasted, the style I like. Oh, and 92 percentiles? RB community, you totally lost your grading compass...

Amber-copper color, with a small head, disappearing. Aroma is spicy, malts, a bit too bland than expected. Taste is malty, some orange peel notes, sweetish at first, some bitterness in the end. Oily texture. Good, but not at the level of the belgian trappists.

Piwo trapistów z niespotykanie trwala piana, kremowo bezowa i dluo, długo się utrzymujaca w kielichu trapistowskim od La Trappe. Metne średnio, zapach suszonej sliwki i gotowanej lub pieczonej gruszki. W smaku borowki i inne owoce leśne, jest bardzo owocowo, nieco karmelu. Wytrawnosc także da się wyczuć. Dobre piwo do sera dlugodojrzewajacego.

Duzo miodu. Nieco przypraw ziolowych. Troche bananow i dojrzalych brzoskwin. Slodko. Ciut lepko. Milo bardzo.

Flasche (33 cl) vom Bierzwerg. - Goldbraun, schwach trüb, üppiger Schaum. - In der Nase sehr schöne würzige, obergärig-fruchtige Herbe mit deutlichen Noten von Waldhonig, Ingwer und Aprikose. - Antrunk karamelmalzwürzig und krautig herb mit Trockenobst, Ingwerbrot und Hefe. Wie bei so vielen belgischen Starkbieren stört hier die starke, ja schaumige Rezenz, die nicht zu der weinig-süßen Malzschwere paßt. Im Abgang nicht zu knappe aber etwas plumpe Hopfenherbe. - Karamelmalzig-schweres obergäriges Tripel, etwas herber als viele Belgier, mit kräftiger, fast überdeutlicher Gewürznote. Sehr gut aber noch ein wenig „eckig“. - Bewertung: 3,7.
Neuverkostung 23.6.2017 mit einer 2 Jahre gelagerten Flasche (33 cl). - Auch nach zwei Jahren Lagerung hat das Bier nicht wesentlich an Tiefe gewonnen. Etwas runder vielleicht, aber immer noch stört die aufdringliche Gewürznote, wirkt es etwas unrund.

A small bottle bought in L’Abbaye des Saveurs, Lille. Pours a slightly hazy with a weak white head. Aroma is belgian yeasts, spicies, flowery, typical for this style of beer. Taste is the same, but with some hoppy bitterness. Same bitterness aftertaste.
