Pours burnt orange in color with 2 fingers of slow dissipating foam. Aroma is sweet date, brown sugar, and some slight yeast phenolic. Flavor is a mix of brown sugar and bread that develops in a yeasty bread dough and finishes with a slight bitterness and breath of brown sugar but not sweet. Body is thin to medium and nucleation is a little sharp. Overall, this beer is like a cross of a trippel in its yeast flavor but a dubbel in its dark sugar and fruit flavors, but not too strong in either one. I do like the beer but it's not the Trappist single I envisioned as the color and flavors are too dark, the ABV is too high, and I didn't use a phenolic yeast. 3 stars as it's a good drinker but, if I was rating based on my vision then it would be 2 stars.
