I hadn't been to a beer store in a while, so when I got there I wanted to splurge. This is a Trappist style ale from Belgium.
Look & Smell - Warm nutty brown, rich vanilla head. Belgian pine hops with warm rich malt smell.
Taste - I had it chilled pretty cool so I poured and then let it sit for ~5 min. Warm, spiciness underneath. Warms you up, great for a cool day (or any day for that matter)
Rating - 8
This one will blow you away with its fullness. Be prepared it's strong, but it will make your day.
My grading scale
It is subjective, but I think you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from:
1-3 "Horrible" : NEVER BUY THIS!!!! (Or buy it just to see what crappy beer tastes like.)
4-5 "Ok" : These beers need a little work. Usually from a company known for another type of brew.
8-9 "Great" : Try this at least once, you'll be happy you did :D
10!!!!! "Godly" = This is attainable, but the most subjective of all grades. If I ever give a beer a 10 it'll be because it blows your mind.

6-7 "Good": It's ok, for now.
