UPDATED: JUN 28, 2021 Deep dark copper and bronze coloured body with a thick three to four centimetre tall tan head that's microfoamed and covers the beer very nicely. Aroma of curacao, roasted, toasted malts, some pitted fruits, a lot of prunes and plums with a strong belgian yeast bite with some candy sugar and a dash of alcohol noticeable at the very end. Full-bodied; Rich candy sugar and pitted fruit notes with some molasses and toasted malts here as well, along with a bigger dash of curacao, yeast, rich toast, prunes and raisins - quite strong. Aftertaste shows the deep yeast with a lot of malts and the sugars first and foremost with some of the yeast and curacao coming afterwards, all ending with a dry molasses and alcohol bite. Overall, a fairly nice beer that is a little less polished than the other trappists, but for whatever reason and however possible, not only had I never had this, but I didn't even know this was a trappist beer, despite many trips to Holland and Belgium, I found this 33 cL bottle in Alaska, of all places! I sampled this 33 cL bottle, purchased from College Garage Wine & Liqours in Fairbanks, Alaska on 24-June-2021 for US$8,00 sampled in my hotel room here in Anchorage, Alaska on 27-June-2021 after seeing beautiful Denali in all it's glory earlier in the day.
