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 from Systembolaget. A darker and sweeter trappist here. Nice drinking and booze is well hidden.

Bottle (many years out of date) from Craft Beer Oasis, Crewe – drunk at home. Pours a reddish copper with a sizeable but transient frothy cream head. Malts and crusty bread rolls constitute the aroma. In the mouth it has a creamy texture, with honey, treacle and bananas providing the flavouring. Also molasses, cloves and other spices – I keep finding more with each mouthful ! It took a while to get going, but this is excellent !

Surprisingly dark, copper brown. Sweet, malty, fruity, fairly bitter. Closer to a dubbel but ok. Not bad.
