Turns out had not tried this one. 2025 batch.
Smell - weak hops, weak belgian tones.
Foam- thin belgian tones, hops, bitter tones. Head is large, white in color.
Appearance - beer-specific cap, nice classic bottle. Clear orange amber.
From - snifter
Taste - bitter tones, hops, faint pulling bitterness, some faint belgian tones. Long-lasting bitter aftertaste. Dunno, for me it feels a bit harsh aftertaste.

Vintage 2021 (20.01), taste in 20.08.2023 (poured into orginal Orval glass). Fajne tresciwe, wieksze nagazowanie, piana szybko rosnie niczym ilosc nielegalnej imigracji. Metnawe kwaskowe i bardzo chmielne i ziolowe. Pod koniec lata doskonale.

Vintage 2022 (06.01), taste in 09.10.2022, a wiec na swiezo, jest lekko, poczatkowo nawet wodnisto, spora rosnaca w oczach piana, trwala, metnawe ale srednio, choc osad drozdzowy byl spory, tu pojawia seie cytrusowa nuta, wiecej chmielnosci, wytrawnosci, rumianku, oraz na zakaczenie niewielki posmak slonecznikowego prazonego ziarna. Z tych 2 testow jednego dnia 5 letni Orval i polroczny, chyba ten swiezy mi lepiej podszedl, w przypadku Orvala im starsze tym nie do konca sie smak poprawia w dobra strone.

Two bottle from Vintage 2017 (04.10). This Trappist Ale from online: winnicalidla.pl. Drink in 2018 (16.11) in La Trappe goublet. temperatura 13 stopni. Piwo syknelo dosc glosno a to tylo kapselek, spore nagazowanie, od razu swiezy aromat sfermentowanych zielonych jablek. Pieknie wyglada spora piama i bardzo trwala, zadkosc w wieksosci piw trapistow, oblepia kielicha, srednio trwala. Barwa miedziano-bursztynowa, osad nieco zmetnil piwo. W smaku wytrawne, lambickowate, winogrona biale zdeptane spoconymi stopami, jablka, zielone gruszki, pigwa i nawracajace biale winogrona. Na podniebieniu pozostaje goryczka. Klasowe, z gola inne piwo.
Vintage 2017 (04.10) but taste in 09.10.2022. Five years and five days old trappist ale. No tu nieco jest inaczej, takze syknelo, piana pienista srednia, srednio trwala, bardzo metniste i drozdzowe, pachnie suszonymi jablkami i starym kredensem lub poniemieskim drewnianym suchym stolikiem. W smaku suszone jablka, jakis susz owocow, dobre, drozdzowozytnie klimaty. dosc ciemnawe.

Vintage 2004. (This Trappist Ale from Piotr i Pawel in Blue City Warsaw). Drink in 2005 or 2006. Fajne mocno nagazowane metniste bursztynowe, chmielne i nieco kwaskowe. Bardzo sie wyroznia na tle innych Trapistowskich piw. Chyba jest najbardziej wytrawne. Piwo wnet szczypie w policzki, dosc dziwne to uczucie jakby bylo ostre przyprawione pieprzem z kolendra. W posmaku nieco jest troche zielonej sliwki. Serwowane do kieliszka Leffe w temp. 12 stopni.

Yesterday at the Bruxelles café, Lausanne, loving this beer, a classical for the eternity, simple and tasty, dry malt with a sweet note of sugar, fruity, dry bitterness, floral and aromatic, fresh and boozy, after some Belgians mussels, just perfect.
gave a cheers!

Bottle. Bottled 01/03/2022, so almost 4 years old. Color: hazy amber, big off-white head. Aroma: Brett funk, some leather, fruity notes of yellow fruit. Taste: Dry-ish, Bretty, some leather, starting more malty and finishing with a combination of malt and floral hop, lightly peppery and yellow fruit hints. Medium body, below average carbonation. Dry mouthfeel at finish. Nice ageing.
