Pours bright gold into a Trappist glass. Bright white head quickly recedes to skim surface. Belgian yeast aromas. Sharp and crisp upfront although slightly chalky. Lasting bitter finish. Alcohol well hidden, but felt...certainly not a dubbel, but classifications aside has a nice crisp flavor.

Why not a porter? It does have considerable hops. The aroma has quite of a bit of chocolate and and light coffee. Flavor is medium sweet with roasted malt and more chocolate. Very smooth on the palate.

Bottle. Dark brown body with light brown head. Aroma of sweet, roasted malt, coffee and alcohol. First impression of the flavor is rather interesting. Coffee, vanilla, pepper and alcohol. After a few more sips, this beer is tasting more ordinary. It’s a rather fine beer, but nothing extraordinary at all.
