Deep maroon with a big beige head. Raisin, prune and a touch of cocoa. Easy drinking, but a bit simple.

Mahogany colour towards dark ruby. Slightly hazy, full head at first. Sherry like aroma. Dried fruit taste backed up by a distinct bitterness.

Stoked to finally find this English Trappist ale, from the depths of Charnwood Forest. Has that monk dedication, as well as Belgian sugars, but a distinctly English flair to it. I love the simplicity of the label, with the faint green watercolors in text.

Bottle sourced from Saveur-Biere.com and drunk at home (24/02/2022) - pours dark brown with a thin beige dissipating head. Sweet and medium toasted malty with notes of dried fruit shred, yeast, light nutty, caramel and toffeish sweetness, brown sugar and cocoa, Christmas fruit cake, nice body and mouthfeel, nice spiced warming malty finish.

A Trappist region tick. Bottle. Deep brown with a dense cm of pale beige head. Aroma of stewed fruit (figs, prunes, raisins), mocha, earthy nuts, spices. Seems sweet at first before a gradually gripping bitterness. Solid. Like that unabashed finish, which also suggests it will age OK.

dark brown, smooth light brown head. nutty aroma, chestnuts, also some roasted malts, not sweet. a particularily nutty and not-sweet malty ale. flavor is sweet, nutty, syrupy, faint licorice. pretty sold trappist double or quad flavor, reminds me of westvleteren 8 extra. very complex and a really nice not-sweet solid composition and balance.

Flaska från SB. 2020 vintage och har stått knappt två år. Mahognyfärgad vätska med högt skum. Utvecklad doft med karamell och torkad frukt. Komplex och mogen. Fruktkaka, torkad frukt, dadlar, russin, toffee, vanilj, karamell, fat. Riktigt gott

Bottle, thanks Fin! Dark red to brown, low tan head. Juicy melanoidin roast and dark sugar aroma. Chokolate, fruity hops, bready malt, raisin bread. Medium to full sweet body, a tad diabeetus, pleasant garden finish.
