Very nice amber color,medium sized white head that lasted for a decent time and left a slight lace behind.Fruity spicy aroma with a nice presence of spice,lightly malty and sweet.The taste was much the same as the aroma with a little bit of toffe and even sweeter then i was expecting.The carbonation must add to this brews flavor,it's a bit more then i care for but it does seem to add that little bit of something that really brings this brew together.As this brew warms i notice the flavors as well as the aroma becoming much more pronounced and the alcohol doesn't seem to have even left the gate yet.It does have a belated warming feeling as it goes down.This is one hell of a brew and i have to thank BG for stocking this brew.

2*330 ml bottles bought in a mixpack and shared at tasting. Pours amber with a frothy off-white head that slowly dissipates while leaving some lacing on the glass. Smell is sweet with yeasty esters, caramel, plums and mandarin oranges. Taste is sweet, malty and metallic with sweet tropical fruits, bread, plums and red grapes. Mouthfeel is round and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and metallic with sweet fruits and hay.

Bottle 33 cl, GIL. Pours cloudy amber with a small creamy off white head leaving lace. Aroma is malty soapy hoppy fruity grassy. Flavor is mild malty sweet fruity spicy yeasty. Thin a bit but good maltyness and strasy from beginning to the end. Finishes bitter sweet fruity.

Sampled at Larsniclas testing. Pours hazy copper with a big white head. Smells soap and nutty malty. Tastes cheesy nutty malty abi sweet with a similar finish.

33cl Bottle: New Years Day, in a bar on the Grand Place in Mons, Belgium. The body had an orange hue, a slight hazy mistiness prevented me seeing through the glass; small head which became a collar and a wisp after my second sip. Although I found some citrus esters in the nose and yeast aromas the overriding smells were sweeter: summer fruits and a caramel like maltiness. I thought the taste on the sweet side, caramel and toasted fruit cake: the yeast tries to come through as well, but no real hop input flavour wise. The alcohol content is well disguised, the sweetness being the only hint that this might be on the strong side. Overall too sweet, it does however slip down very nicely: one is enough for me in a session though.

En stiltypisk trippel som när den är relativt färskt är söt, vass, småbubblig och spritig. Stor lagringspotential. Drag av farinsocker och jästig beska. God.

Light sweetness and roast aromas. Copper in color with almost no head. Caramalty and sweet with a bit of spice undertone. A descent amber but not my favorite from this great brewery.

Almost clear amber beer with too small white head. Fruity and spicy nose and flavours, with banana, raisins, caramel, some dough. Yeast is again a over the bottle, even after a few weeks of rest. No point in trying to leave most of it in the bottle, simply won’t work. This is an ok drink though. Strong, full, lively but still rather soft carbo. Gets better when it warms up (started too cold at 6 celsius)
