Westvleteren 8 on tumma olut, jossa on hedelmäisiä aromeja, kuten kirsikkaa, rusinoita, viikunaa ja jopa melonia. Se on pantu maailmankuulussa Westvleterenin Sint-Sixtus-trappistiluostarissa, ja sen alkoholipitoisuus on 8 %.
That fruity nose really does hit you—cherry and raisin up front, then a soft fig note as it warms. Poured one after dinner and the dark, malty body made it feel like dessert without being heavy. Wish I'd bought more than a couple bottles.
The dark pour alone is worth it—deep mahogany with that sweet, raisiny fig aroma hitting before the first sip. At under 10% ABV it's dangerously smooth, and the cherry note lingers just long enough to make you want another bottle.
The fruitiness really comes through—I got cherry and raisin up front, then a soft fig note on the finish. It's dark and smooth, and the 8% ABV warms nicely without ever feeling heavy. Almost wish I'd bought more bottles.
