Trappist Westvleteren 12 330ml, 10.2% - Belgium


And now for the grand finale. Let's see what's the fuss is all about..!

Dark candy brown appearance with a darkish head which dissolved instantly.

What a complex smell! Sweet burned sugar with notes of vanilla and caramel.

The taste is even better than the smell. Strong touch of caramel, bordering burned sugar. Huge variety of dark fruits, mostly plums and prunes. Hints of cherries.

Amazing beer! Well balanced and carbonated. Silky and smooth in the mouth. Just great!

Trappist Westvleteren 8 330ml, 8% - Belgium


Poured medium brown with a dark head which settled quickly. Hardly any lacing.

Banana aroma, together with caramel and light spicy tones.

Sweet fruity taste, mostly dark fruits. Nutmeg, raisins and prunes. Belgian spices in the after taste.

Very tasty double, smooth and well balanced.

Trappist Westvleteren 6 330ml, 5.8% - Belgium


At last, we had the change to try all three Westvleterens and we drank them back to back. Starting off with the Blonde #6.

Poured light orange color with a white creamy head. Some lacing is showing on the glass.

Yeasty smell together with citrus and even some pineapple. Fresh smell indeed.

Sour taste of apples. Light touche of spices, grassy hops. Quite pale on the after taste. Medium carbonation.

This does have a small resemblance of Hoegaarden. I'm not comparing WV to it, it just reminded me of Hoegaarden.

Nothing special here really, moving on to the next beer.
