3.7/5

AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20

2006 Bottle. Pours hazy copper color with a huge off white head with fantastic retention. Lots of bubbles running up the side of the glass. Aromas of dried fruits, molasses, some spices. Taste is pretty dry with fruits and spices. Slight lingering tastes on the finish and alcohol warmth. Medium mouthfeel and body. Solid beer, but not the best trappist ale I have had yet. I will try it again sometime with a fresher one.

This was a bit weird, but I attribute that to how old it was, maybe a fresher one will be better.
