Here is the label:

It is a "refectory ale" a much lighter lower EtOH content than say a
Quadrupel like a Westy 12. I am not familiar a Trappist refectory
style. I will try and snare some for you when I can find it.
Speaking of brews just yesterday I had my first Amercian made English
Brown Ale which I thought must be an oxymoron as the only real
difference is where they are made. It was a Saint Botolph's Town. I
suppose the fact that the malt is Yorkshore explains it, but am not
sure. Really outstanding with unique malt flavor --coffee, hazelnut,
some toffee notes with an earthy but nuanced hops finish.
It is my Mom's birthday today and my brother is visiting from
Pittsburgh. I opened my bottle of Dom Perignon 2002, I was given as a
gift. (took care of a neurosurgeons's wife) Marnie really appreciated
it at least.
