Norm and I had 2 apiece tonite. Very good, probably the best trappist we've had but not worth the price. The napa smith hopagedon I'm following it up with is much more my speed

Similiar to a bland sour beer. Nice aroma

Nice malt backbone. A bit tart sweetness. Overripe red grapes comes to mind at first Then candy sweetness which leaves a caramel sweetness in the finish. Alcohol tickles the tongue. Great beet

Second time I've had this, sweet, malty and fantastic, a little less carbonation might make it perfect.

Malty Trappist Dubbel. Prune and fig tastes, slight carbonation. Let it warn up a bit. Very nice

dark fruits up front but there is also some cherries, perhaps even smelling like a candied variant - sort of like a cross between maraschino cherries and what cherries would be like if candied like a candy apple. I wasn't crazy about this artificial sweetness scent (or flavour) but did mostly enjoy it nonetheless. This beer pours a darker brown than the Achel, but with a whiter, if equally creamy, head that also expressed excellent lacing and retention. Though still sweet, it is more dissimilar in flavor to the Achel than in aroma insofar as raisins, molasses and pumpernickel bread flavourings were more predominant. Likewise, this is also medium bodied and nicely creamy with a perhaps slightly drier finish, yet I found it to taste boozier despite a lower ABV. Overall, a very good beer (in a style I enjoy) but one that was simply bested by Achel according to my tastes. Grade: A-
