Comments:  Pours a light coffee brown color with a thin tan head, that disappears QUICKLY.  Let this beer warm up before drinking it.  After the beer warms, you can appreciate the spice, sweet fruit, caramel & alcohol aroma.  A sweet fruit (clove  & banana) caramel & spice taste with a tart finish.  Despite the 7.5% ABV, the alcohol taste does not overwhelm the beer.  I think Fortunato is a little "thin" compared to a actual Belgium Trappist Ale.  Thanks for the beer Jim!
