This beer has a distinct Abbey yeast flavor. The head and "nose" are very nice. I would use a Trappist Ale yeast next time I brew this beer.

After 4 weeks bottle conditioning this beer was very good. The sharp flavors calmed down and the taste and fullness were lovely. Next time I will be using a Trappist Ale yeast.
