It really is good. Very rich, coffee and caramel notes to it, which almost completely mask the incredible amount of alcohol by volume you're putting into your body. Usually, at over 6% even, you're going to taste a little booze. That one seriously tastes like it could be your average 5.5%, booziness-wise.
One could easily drink an entire six-pack of those without even thinking about it, and get completely sloshed before you knew what was happening.

As an aside, in reference to my evening's drinking:
Just finished my Trappistes Rochefort 10, and all I can say is that I consider that beer a work of art.
At 11.3% ABV, it was bound to taste somewhat of alcohol, the mouthfeel slightly anesthetizing ones' tongue, but the amount of flavor, the balance of flavor, and pretty much every aspect - from look to the yeast settling to the bottom of the glass - was absolutely gorgeous.
