Dark brown-copper in the glass with a persistent pale head. Caramel, molasses and plum sit against a notably dry woody bitterness, with touches of vanilla, cocoa and almond through the finish.

A dependable Trappist strong ale with an inviting Belgian character, a touch of tobacco on the nose and a rich, distinctive ale flavour. A beer that remains impressive even after repeated tastings.
BBD Review Summary –
Deep malt sweetness is balanced by a drier finish, allowing the plum, raisin and spice notes to remain clear.
Belgian Beer Review Summary –
Plum, raisin and brown-sugar notes build gradually in the glass, with soft yeast character and a long warming finish.
BBD Tasting Summary –
The combination of dark fruit, caramel and Belgian yeast gives it an immediately recognisable Trappist character.
Flanders Beer Notes –
In the glass, this feels distinctly Belgian in character, with a good balance of malt, yeast and gentle bitterness. I would serve it in the correct Belgian glass and give it a few minutes to open up.
Serving Notes –
An enjoyable belgian beer with a clean structure and a satisfying finish. The balance is the key point here; nothing feels too forced. It is better cool than ice-cold, especially if you want the aroma to come through.
Belgian Tasting Notes –
A beer worth taking a little time over: distinctly Belgian in character, with a good balance of malt, yeast and gentle bitterness. It has enough individuality to make it worth seeking out again. Well suited to sharing from the larger bottle formats.
Aroma Notes –
A beer worth taking a little time over: a solid introduction to the brewery, with enough personality to stand out in a mixed case. Not the most immediately approachable style for me, but there is plenty of character. The finish becomes more interesting as the beer warms slightly.
Belgian Cellar Notes –
Aromatic and well put together, showing more depth than a straightforward lager-style beer. The balance is the key point here; nothing feels too forced. I would serve it in the correct Belgian glass and give it a few minutes to open up.
Tasting Notes –
A very enjoyable bottle: a solid introduction to the brewery, with enough personality to stand out in a mixed case. It has enough individuality to make it worth seeking out again. Well suited to sharing from the larger bottle formats.
