UPDATED: APR 13, 2024 Robe or sombre, un peu trouble en fond de bouteille, mousse très correcte, mais reste 3mm. Nez très rond, levure et un peu alcooleux mais sans excès. Attaque de même, très ronde, notes levurées, présence de l'alcool mais équilibré, pas trop de sucrosité mais une belle charpente, légère amertume perceptible en 2e bouche, qui doit contribuer à équilibrer l'ensemble. On reste quand même du côté de la rondeur. C'est du costaud, mais plutôt bien mené, même si les arômes sont assez convenus.

UPDATED: MAR 23, 2024 Bottle at home, dark golden beer, small head. Aroma is yeast, esters, malt. Taste is the same, alcohol, sweet, fruit, esters, yeast. Classic belgian triple but quite boozy.

UPDATED: MAR 20, 2024 Draft at Hopleaf. Pours golden with an inch of white foam. Leaves some lacing in the glass. Lots of juicy fruit on the nose and tongue with a hint of bitterness to keep things balanced and interesting.

UPDATED: MAR 3, 2024 Lemon, musty yeast, biscuit malt, and hay aroma. Hazy golden yellow with giant white head. Mildly sweet lemon, musty yeast, biscuit malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Nice body. Very nice.

UPDATED: FEB 22, 2024 Keg at Delirium Bar, Lisbon. Clear deep golden. Grassy and gluey nose. Nice bit of bitterness. Very full body. Nice.

UPDATED: DEC 10, 2023 Draught @ Oh Craft!, Manhattan (Nov 2023). Faintly cloudy dark yellow-orange with a small foamy off-white head, cinnamon-malt aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter caramel malt taste with cinnamon, cloves, dried fruits, long smooth body, bitter finish with faint alcohol aftertaste. Very smooth tripel!

UPDATED: AUG 28, 2023 Bevuta alla spina a Bruges Aroma, elemento principale: il lievito (probabilmente). Odore pungente, lievemente rancido. Aspetto: biondo limpido. Cappello di schiuma intenso e persistente. Gusto: dolce delicato, con retrogusto persistente alcoolico senza essere invasivo. Inizio da belgian ale, chiusa da triple, con nota finale di miele, dolce e asprigna. Corpo rotondo e duraturo, carbonazione persistente su fondo lingua e in gola. fpPr

UPDATED: AUG 4, 2023 Frederiksberg 4/8 2023. 40 cl from tap at Tap 21, H. C. Ørstedsvej, Frb. C. Pours unclear - almost opaque - amber with a small white head. Stable. Settles as thin layer of foam just covering the surface of the beer. Clinging to the sides of the glass. Massive lacing. Aroma is medium intense with a sweet malty odor mingling with a scent of yeast and alcohol. Sweet pale malts, banana, toffee and metallic alcohol. Potent but not unpleasant. Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, lightly tingling texture. Flavor is intense with a strong sweetness followed by a medium strong bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a sharp undertone of alcohol. Lingers for a while. Finish is semi-dry. Intense and a bit unforgiving.

UPDATED: MAR 15, 2023 Triple de 11 % abv, servie à la pression. La grande réputation de cette bière méritait bien sa dégustation. Belle prestation d'ensemble, dense et complexe. Finale puissante et longue. CONCLUSION : réputation méritée, et dans le style Van Steen ..

UPDATED: MAR 12, 2023 The 11% version. Aromas are yeast, fruit, wine, malt, spice and a little bread. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, leaning sweet, wine comes out a little more but with enough bitter and twice fermented Belgian style carbonation. Excellent body and balanced finish. Super good beer.
