Draught at the monastery’s cafeteria. Hazy dark brown colour. Very small light brown head. OK roasted flavour, quite mild. Slightly citric finish, probably from the grain.

(Draught at the monastery) Sold as Bruin. On March 22, 2008. Shady reddish to dark brown color, tan head. Fresh hoppy and grainy scent, a bit acidic taste, roasted and bitter aftertaste. A bit spritzy mouthfeel. Rather high bitterness.

Draught Small, but stable beige head, leaving some lace. Darker amber than this is usually known as black. Fresh, light hops nose. Once again, a vegetable bit - like the Buxus in the blonde, but less obvious than in that one. Some dry malt and hopstaste as the blonde, but the real dark malts enhance the bitterness just that little bit to give it a real malt character without excess sweet. Dry, even dry-out effect. Another very well-balanced beer, good and reviving.

(On tap) Deep orangey brown, filtered with a small, creamy head. Light caramel-like notes and a marked yet discreet hoppiness. Again a very quaffable and quenching light trappist. 110505

Slightly cloudy brown color, short but lasting head. Bit malty aroma, but also fruity. Sweet malty taste, fruity, quite complex. Lasting palate. Very good achel brew.
