3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20(11.2oz bottle from Whip-in with Ana P at home on June 26, 2008) Pours a malty orange/brown color, very carbonated at first, into a small snifter. Head active, but dissipates, leaving no lacing. Aroma is light, spice/caramel, maybe toffee/molasses. Burnt sugar, etc. Taste is sweet and salty on the tip of the tongue. My mouth is still watering from the saltiness... it’s almost astringent. Palate is dry, with a sweet alcoholic cloud lingering at the back of the tongue for a while after the brew goes down. Alcohol noticeable, but well accompanied by the malty tripel-ness. A great tripel!

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Slightly unclear dark dark, light brown head. Aroma is mostly a lot of overripe and dried fruits (raisins, plums. figs). Taste is slightly alcoholic, a lot of overripe and dried fruits again. Portlike. Like a good quadrupel! Good full body and perfect carbonation.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Exploded from the bottle. Was initially very lively but this quickly dissapated. Nice deep red colour although a bit hazy and with residue at the bottom. Aroma was a bit red-wine or port-like. Taste was fruity and toffee and a bit of malt. Too sweet & portey for me.
