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.

Servida en tulipa, color dorado cobrizo, turbia, espuma blanca compacta de mediana retención. Aroma delicioso a levadura belga, pan blanco, cereales, malta, especias, cáscara de plátano, naranja, mandarina, muy complejo y agradable aroma, rico en matices. En boca entra suave, es redonda, equilibrada, algo astringente, floral, notas de malta, cereales, frutas con hueso (albaricoque, melocoton...), platano...En definitiva, otra delicia trapense. Estupenda

Milder rezent, schwer; nahezu perfekt kaschierter Alkohol. Im Abgang feine Waldbeere und solide krautige Hopfenherbe. - Malzschweres, wuchtig röstmalzig-kaffeebetontes und gediegen fruchtig-hopfenherb abgerundetes Stout, sehr geschmacksintensiv aber vielleicht ohne den letzten Schliff.
