Description
The beer of Val Dieu is synonymous of quality and authenticity. It is the only Belgian abbey beer to be 100% brewed in a living abbey such as the famous Belgian Trappist beers. The monks of the Abbey of Val Dieu are the ones who are at the origin of the beers which are brewed today on the site. Historically, the Cistercian monks were famous for their qualities as brewers. The monks of Val Dieu are in line with this reputation.

330ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. A creamy, off-white head on top of a close-to-clear brownish body, spotty lacing. Promising aromas of earthy malts, mid-sweet, and lightly roasted. Quite well balanced taste character of dark bread, semi-sweet-caramel, and figs, carefully spiced. Roasted malt-fruity ending, semi-dry and semi-sweet. Fine depth to it. Pretty good. (Tromsø, 06.10.2024).

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per i cereali. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale, permanendo in maniera sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste poco. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di apparenza velata. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è normale. La forza gustativa è elevata e permane in maniera sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Il tetto della bocca porta note di miele, frumento, cereali, frutta secca, erbaceo e agrumi.

33 cl bottle stated at 8%. A hazy maroon pour with a rocky, abundant but short-lived, pale pinkish head. Aroma is cherry jam, cherry candy, sliced bread, apricot. Despite the nose, in the mouth it proves to be dry, albeit the strong cherry aroma tricks your brain (not your tongue) into trying to believe it's sweet. It is not, and neither is it sour, just crisp. Quite bitter and slightly boozy finish. Medium to low-lasting aftertaste with more cherries.
