Bottled at Monk’s Brewery & Café, Stockholm. Hazy pale amber, small head. Fruity grassy nose with some marzipan. Mid dry with medium body and crisp rounded mouthfeel. Elegant, slender and crisp. Mid bitter finish. Relaxed, but with lots of depth.

Bottle. Light hazy orange liquid with medium white head. Aroma of white pepper, lemon, grain, red berries, light clove, light banana and bread. Taste is very light sweet and light bitter with notes of lemon, red berries, grain and light orange peel. Medium bodied with medium to high carbonation. Pretty nice!

330ml bottle. Cloudy, orangey, deep golden colour with average, fluffy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, off-white head. Yeasty, wheaty, fruity aroma, notes of peach, pear and (dried) apricot, lots of clove, a minimally peppery yeasty touch as well. Taste is again wheaty fruity and peppery yeasty spicy, with pronounced accentuation on the spicy aspects, diluted hints of peach and apricot, explicit notes of clove, slightly bready malty background. Full-bodied, lasting finish, well carbonated. Solid Trappist Ale without potential to become iconic.

0.33 l bottle from Saveur Bière, bottled in July 2015 (best before ’AG 211’, the weirdest bottle code I’ve ever seen). Gusher! Clear, golden yellow with a huge, foamy, slowly diminishing, white head. Fruity, yeasty-spicy aroma of banana, clove, peach, vanilla and honeydew. Sweetish, fruity-spicy taste of banana, clove, peach, vanilla and honeydew, followed by a slightly bitter, spicy finish with mainly cloves. Medium body, slightly creamy and effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Tasty and pleasant brew, quite simple and not that deep though. Overall a nice Belgian Ale, apart from this heavily annoying gushing!

500th rating. Pours a nice rich toffee color from the tap. Classic Belgian ale fruitiness, some candi sugar, dries out nicely. Good beer.

Thanks to Kurt! Happy to try this one. Starting to feel a bit like it would never happen. 330 ml. bottle split by four. Hazy sparkling orange, big creamy off-white head. Nose is big on fish guts (almost something DE in that fashion) mixed with more BE notes, big banana & sugary sweetness. Big sweetness, big fish guts & very simple. Taste is the same, fish guts mixed with banana, vanilla, sugar, odd yeast, sugar, very sweet, big fish guts. Yeasty & fizzy body. Very simple not a big fan of this combo. Technically nothing wrong with this one but the profile etc. is really not appealing here. The very high score here,… A mediocre to average Belgian Ale at best in my opinion but it is the first USA Trappist beer so people go nuts.
