Description
Abdij Maria Toevlucht (Our Lady of Refuge Abbey) belongs to the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance, better known as the Trappists. The abbey was founded on 14 September 1938 when the priory of Zundert was elevated to the status of an abbey.

In 2009, careful consideration led to the decision to start a small brewery. A small brewery, because: ‘monks brew to live and do not live to brew’. Building work began in 2012. Following extensive preparations, the plans were implemented between October 2012 and October 2013. The brewery was built within the existing contours of the former buildings of the De Kievit farm. These buildings also house the workplaces. ‘Zundert Trappist’ beer was introduced on the market in December 2013.

Much darker than I expected- like a cross between a tripel and dubbel. A bit of sweet malt, toffee, spice, light pepper, dried fruit. Medium bodied. A nice beer but hard to think of it as a tripel.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Dark brown colored brew with an nicely sweet bitter taste, hints of caramel, dried fruits and spices. I think they used an hop with northwest American origin, but correct me if i'am wrong.

Fles gedeeld met familie. Het is een donkerbruin bier met mooie beige schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van banaan, gedroogd rood fruit en drop. De smaak is zoet, rozijnen en een hint dadels met salmiak en drop in de nasmaak.

330ml bottle from Mount St Bernard Brewery Shop in Coalville - mucky amber body, scuzzy white top. Grainy taste, hoppy grassiness, fresh and just shy of being bitter. Really nice refectory beer.

Fles thuis geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een donker roodbruin bier met een volle schuimkraag. Het heeft een fruitige wat kruidige geur. De smaak is moutig, basterdsuiker achtig met tonen van pruimen.
