The body is robust though spritzy. The flavour is sweet, with chocolate, raisin, caramel, and many of the same fruits mentioned above. Lots of esters and residual sugars. Very rich and warming with a splash of alcohol at the back.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 BlackHaddock (1709) - Shropshire, ENGLAND - APR 7, 2012
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.

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)
