An abbey beer from the makers of Belgian Pêches, the Lefebvre brewery at Quenast, Belgium.

Fine tan thick lacing head over chestnut ale. On the nose malty mustiness followed by a dry sip of plummy burlappy brew with a fresh sweet apply juice heart. Interesting multi-layered spherical taste - yes, that makes little sense to me but how else to describe it? Convivial and pleasant enough but not profound as the juiciness clashes a bit with the pronounced white peppery heat, even at 6.3%. Yet rich, too: a bit of date and - dare I say it - Pepsi. Light twiggy hops frame more than cut. Rough cinnamon and allspice finish.

6% of BAers don't like it. See the history of the abbey here.
