Hazy amber beer, solid white head. Aroma has a good blend of malts with caramel. Flavour has heaps of malt too, the caramel again, a little dried fruit, some citrus zest, a bit of hop. Good body, nicely balanced, slightly boozy.

330ml bottle @Abbazia delle Tre Fontane (Rome). Color miele di castagno, mediamente torbida, schiuma ecrù media, mediamente persistente. Al naso note di caramello, frutta secca, arancia candita. In bocca l'attacco è abboccato, la chiusura leggermente amara. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Manca un po' di complessità ed equilibrio.

Eine der wenigen offiziellen Trappistenbrauereien und eine der beiden solchen Brauereien in den Niederlanden. Es fällt auf, dass auf der Zutatenliste gleich an 3.Stelle nach Wasser und Malz, Zucker 🥯gelistet wird. Dies weist schon mal eine enorme Süße hin, welche den starken Alkohol im Körper trägt und das Bier runder und voller wirken lässt. Die ebenfalls zugegebenen weihnachtlichen 🎄 Gewürze passen unerwartet gut in das Gefüge und machen das Bier gefällig und interessant zu trinken. Vielleicht wird es nicht mein Lieblingstrappistenbier ⛪, aber für nicht zu anspruchsvolle oder unerfahrene Biergenießer doch ein nettes Getränk.

Pour is a murky brown with a large tan head. Aroma is brown sugar and plums. Flavor is sugar covered plumbs with molasses and treacle. Finish is spicy with a minor alcohol felt. Not as rich as some trappist beers but the flavor was there.

Feb 2023 batch. Unfortunately a very off batch. Strange smokey notes.
