Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy amber color with a medium sized white head that left decent lacing. . The aroma was sweet with bread, golden fruit, a bit of bubblegum and perfume. The flavor was sweet and yeasty with bread crust, a bit of booziness, perfume and golden fruit. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.

Cask at Ship and Mitre, Liverpool Nearly the perfect beer. Dark ruby colour, gorgeous fruity malt flavour hits you up gront with hoppy finish. Great balance and excellent length

A major disappointment, and the worst Trappist beer I have tasted. Very light fruit and malt aroma. Yellow, with a very large white head. Lacking in flavor, especially compared to Karmeliet. This is like a plain Belgian ale; reminds me of the unimpressive Unibroue ’04 with a simple malt and alcohol flavor combination. At least the price was marked ridiculously low by mistake, but I won’t look for this again. 750 bottle.

11 oz bottle. big white foamy head. Color is a cloudy straw when bottom ½ of bottle is swirled & poured to blend the yeast back in. Aroma-light, grainy&apple. Taste at 1st is dry, alcohol then the hops comes thru. Good beer, just not my taste.

Bottle. A caramel chocolate aroma. Dark, opaque brown color with ample but quickly collapsing head. Light sweet prune flavor with a slight bitter finish. Pretty weak and watery especially for the style.

Bottle: Straw coloured with a big fluffy long-lasting head; impressive fruity nose (banana); even thogh not low carbonated, very smooth in the mouth; thie initial orangey fruitiness, accompanied by hints of candy, switches over to soft but clear hoppiness. Very "warm" and complex brew.
