Description
St. Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts, is home to a community of Trappist monks and the first American Trappist brewery. Following the Benedictine tradition of ora et labora (prayer and work), the monks pursue a simple life of contemplative prayer, manual labor and hospitality. The brewery helps support the monks and their charitable outreach. The brewery, being far into the abbey's land, is not open to the public for tours or tastings.

Color naranja cobrizo, buena corona de espuma blanca, cremosa, duradera y muy adherente a la copa. Aroma frutal con notas de malta, fruta de hueso madura, naranja madura, toque de miel y resina. En boca posee cierto dulzor maltoso de fondo, que equilibra perfectamente con un amargor moderadado, final seco, notas cítricas, herbales y frutales. Muy rica

330ml bottle @Abbazia delle Tre Fontane (Rome). Bruna, intensa, schiuma ecrù media, discretamente persistente. Al naso note di caramello, liquirizia, frutta rossa matura sotto spirito, datteri, fichi secchi. In bocca è abboccata all'attacco, caramello, leggero tostato, chiusura amara a bilanciare, leggera acidità. Corpo pieno, carbonazione medio-leggera. Notevole!
