The beer is a dark brown pour with ruby hints at the edges. The head is light brown in colour, creamy, and sticks around. Figs and raisins are the dominant aromas with yeast, spices, and roasted malt also present. Maybe a little bit of caramel as well. Like a lot of Dubbels, the beer starts off sweet with notes of nuts and fruit, but finishes bitter as the hops kick in. A good dubbel

A brewery that comes with a great reputation and it should be no surprise that this was a great beer. A dark brown beer, the cap is creamy, brown, and lasts a while. The dominant aromatic is yeast, but there are also hints of dark fruit, plenty of seasonal spices, and molasses. The beer starts out sweet with the fruit and molasses notes, but the finish is mildly bitter. There are notes of yeast. An excellent beer.

This is a constant favourite at the LCBO. A rich textured beer, as are all the Chimay's. This is my favourite of the three with dark malt and dark fruits dominating the aroma and flavour. It pairs well with their cheese as well.

Part of the LCBO's winter warmer series for 2011. This is an excellent beer...pours a solid reddish-brown colour with a creamy light brown head. Aroma is full of sweet tones, caramel, plums, and sugar. The flavour is on the sweeter side of the spectrum as well, with a dryish finish.

Purchased at Liquor Control Board of Ontario store. Part of a holiday 6 pack. This pours a medium brown colour with red hues and a dark tan head. Toffee, yeast, and figs tingle the aromatic sense. Flavour has notes of nutty malt, caramel, yeast, and spices. The best of the 6 pack.

Tried at a bar. This beer literally blew my mind with how great it was. It poured a reddish-brown with a tan coloured cap that lasted. Dark fruits, caramel, and licorice were the primary aromatic notes with yeast and roasted malt present. The flavour was well balanced with notes of fig, raisins and toffee up front, and yeast and spices in the finish.

I've had the opportunity to try both this beer and the exalted emporer of them all the Westvleteren 12.............and while it's close...I prefer this as the real King of Beers. A dark brown beer with a yeasty smell and a tan coloured head that lasts longer than the Vietnam war. The mouthfeel is creamy, full, and the perfect hint of CO2. The flavour is heaven. The monks really know how to do it!

I was fortunate enough to have a Belgian friend send me a bottle of this, and after trrying it, he instantly became my best friend (I haven'ttold her yet). This is every bit as good as the non-special edition of this brew. Again, I highly recommend if you can still get a bottle...go for it.

The so-called Holy Grail of brews. I'm not sure it's as good as their cousin's abbey quadrupel down the street at Brouwerij St. Bernard, nonetheless, it's a mighty fine brew worthy of the acclaim it's been accorded. An excellent sampling of the finest trappist ales one can buy (even if you have to jump on a plane and go to a conference in Belgium to get some).

This is an excellent beer, I've always passed over it for some reason or another. Cloudy dark brown in colour, ruby hints at the edges and a thin white ring. The aroma knocked me out....plums, apples, pears, sugar, and sweet malt. The flavour was more of the same. No hint of alcohol (or hops). Heavenly!

The beer pours a hazy/cloudy gold colour with a huge generous fluffy head that comes down quickly. The aroma is predominantly malt and yeast with some citrusy tones present as well as spice. The flavour is that of malt, with some grain and spices to round it out.

An excellent beer that pours a orange-brown colour with a large bubbly head. The aroma is a complex of malty tones, yeasty tones, and some spiciness. The flavour is very smooth and balanced between the yeasty flavour, and the fruity maltiness.

Like the other Chimay offerings, this shows up at the LCBO every once in a while, which is good because it's a treat in itself. Tripels can run the gammut of being a good stroing Belgian blonde, to a wimpy saison. This is the former. Citrus, spices and yeast are what this beer is all about!

Another true great beer produced from within the brewery walls of St. Bernard. It's a known fact that St. Bernards carry this brew in their casks and not brandy (or at least that is what I want to believe). The beer pours a murky golden brown with the same generous head of the Abt 12. The flavour is more malty than the Abt 12, and a tad less creamy

This beer pours a hazy straw golden colour with a white head. The aroma is malty, yeasty, and some floral scents. This is a highly carbonated beer. The flavour is malt, some spice, and a nice hoppy finish. Very smooth and very drinkable.

I believe this beer has been retired. The beer poured a murky orange-gold colour with a thick white head that stuck around. The aroma was a complex combination of yeast, Malt, hops, and some fruity spices like nutmeg and cloves. The flavour is slightly sweet (malts??) with a little hoppy bitterness offset by the clovelike spiciness.

This beer isn't as good as some of the earlier anniversary issues from the wonderful people at Unibroue. As with some of the others, the beer is a cloudy beer, golden-orange in colour, with a generous head. The aroma was full of malt, yeast, and fruity spices. The flavour mimics the aroma, with a slight acidic bitterness.

This was the first of the anniversary ales if I'm correct and has long since been retired. The beer started off wee as it poured a nice hazy golden brown. The aroma was very complex, sweet malt, some grains, spices, and some fruit. The flavour was also very complex, but less so than the aroma. The flavour had a hoppish bite as well.

Purchased at Liquor Control Board of Ontario store. A very pale golden colour with a huge white head, and good lacing. Lots of light fruits and citrus notes in the aroma, finishing off with a grains, spices, and yeast. Flavour is light fruits, yeast, spices, and a bitter citrusy finish.

A cloudy effervescent golden pour with a thick white cap that lingers on and on. Grains, yeast, and light citrusy notes comprise the aroma with subtle spice notes. The flavour has a malty backbone with a touch of some honey sweetness followed by a bitter dry finish.

Part of the 2013 LCBO Summer Release. A huge frothy white head sits atop a cloudy golden pour of beer with lots of floaties. Looks good. Yeast, citrus, and spices dominate the aroma with the herbal hop notes more of an afterthought. The flavour is undeniably tripel-like with yeast and spices coming out on top. Great beer.

New can found at the LCBO, different branding than a typical Creemore beer. Copper coloured beer with a decent head. Aroma is more hoppy than a lot of Creemore products. Flavour tends towards a typical German alt with a nice balance between malt and hops.

This is probably my favourite session beer. It's available at every beer store, and liquor store in the land, and goes well with hockey and most of the food I indulge myself with.

I have to admit, I actually sought out this beer on the advice of a friend who said it was quite good (he's a craft beer enthusiast). I'm convinced that whatever he was served wasn't this because this was crap. A light brown pour with a weak tan head. Malty aroma with weak toffee tones. Flavour was quite thin, a little on the sweet side, not much else to say.

This beer is a reddish copper colour with a thin white head. The aroma is very malty with some caramel and hoppish tones. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied and mild carbonation. The flavour was a combination of toffee and malt with a finishing kick of bitterness.
