A dark brown beer, a head is medium and beige. Aroma has strong spicyness, lavender, anise, cinnamon, some caramelly body. Taste has strong (Christmas-)spicyness, flowers, some caramel and dry herbs. No alcohol. Medium bodied. Strongly aromatic and spicy. This is quite unique as the trappist should be.

To Piwo trapistow przypominalo mi Chimay Blue bylo prawie identyczne w smaku, z zawiazanymi oczami bym powiedzial wlasnie ze to wlasnie to piwo. Niektore niskie oceny mnie dziwia i zastanawiam sie czy naprawde wogole testowali to piwo i rozlewali do kieliszkow trapistow. Bo piana byla spora bezowa o kremowej stroktorze, fakt bardzo malo trwala. Barwa czerwono bordowa z licznymi niepracujacymi juz drozdzami. Metnistosc wiec byla. Zapach typowy dla wina wegierskiego takie skojarzenie z Kadarka mialem, a smak slodkawy troche karmelowy i winny owocowy, truskawki i czerwone porzeczki. Spodobala mi sie ti spora daka ziolowych przypraw, macierzanka, kolendra, anyz. Naprawde bardzo przyprawowe piwo. Ogilnie bardzo typowe zblizone do Rochefort i Chimay ale z posypka suszonych ziol.

Thanks Iznogud! Shared with him and ogivlado. Misty copper-amber, darker body, lasting off white head. Aroma... anise, heavy maltiness, bit dust, but fresh all over, plum jam. Taste... soft maltiness, honey, creamy, strong, with some cinnamon to boot, nicely integrated with the rest of the taste. Solid strong malt & spice driven ale.

Bottle, 75cl corked. A hazy brown beer with some small floaties. Light beige head of moderate size leaving lacing. Rather spiced aroma, with sage it seems. Some caramel, bread and resins. Hints of chocolate. It’s full bodied, lightly warming and pleasantly carbonated. Semi dry. Roasted notes, toffee, bread and sage in the flavor. Lasting spiced finish. A pleasant holiday ale for sure. 161231
