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, 8%. Fruity and yeasty aroma with a good brown sugar note. Clear dark amber colour. Good stable off-white head. The flavour is caramelly, yeasty and sweetish. Also some brown sugar in the flavour. The alcohol is well-hidden. Good mouthfeel and carbonation, reminding me of Chimay.

Bottle. Pours clear amber with airy but stable off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and fruit, with floral and hoppy notes. Sweetish flavour of caramel malt and fruit, complemented by bitter, hoppy notes and some estery and floral touches. Bitter, slughtly citric and estery aftertaste. Warming alcohol presence. Well-balanced. Decent.

reddish-amber colour, huge, though not too dense yellowish head; aroma of banana, floral-honey notes, caramel, hints of earth and dried fruits; taste of malty sweetness with some banana, honey, roasted notes and spiciness; 8% alcohol is fully hidden; professional beer without however too much ’fantasy’

0,33 l bottle. Clear, reddish-amber with a creamy, stable, tan head. Fruity aroma of prunes, raisins, molasses and candy sugar. Pleasant, but not that intense though. Sweetish taste primarily of candy sugar and molasses with hints of prunes and raisins. Good if you like sweet beers. Medium to full body, creamy mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Slightly bitter and slightly alcoholic finish. Overall a nice beer that is perhaps not among the best trappists but still highly quaffable and delicious.
