4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Tap at Toronado SD ($7). Pours an apricot-like brownish yellow with thin layer of off-white head. Aroma of floral bouquet, lemon, pear, wood, and sweet malts. Flavor is sweet but smooth. A malty sweetness merges into an earthy woodiness. Spice and a light bourbon flavor emerge as well. Interesting finish that is sweet, slightly bitter, and quite woody. Very quaffable for an eleven percenter!
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle. 25.4 oz. (2009) Pours hay colored, murky golden with a medium, pungent, white head. Incredibly unique aroma: strong vanilla, wheat, breadd, hops, and, oddly, warm butter. Medium body for such a high ABV, which it hides very well. Nice lacing throughout. Extremely long, crisp finish. Excellent tripel.

sample draft at Waywood Beverage!! pours an opaque honey color with a very thin white head...retention could be better. outstanding aroma of blood orange and herbs with a hint of vanilla slight breadiness. flavor has light vanilla and bourbon with some mildly spicy hops up front and the end is dominated by oak notes. mouthfeel is creamy at first but gets a bit watery in the finish. still has an oaky, dry lingering finish. very nice beer...i defintiely had seconds!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bouteille de 750 ml. Arômes de bourbon et de chêne, la levure fruitée transparaît également. Robe blonde cuivrée, effervescence active et belle mousse. Très légèrement mieilleuse, la bière possède une très belle texture, soutenue par la belle effervescence. On retrouve des notes de bourbon et de chêne, ainsi qu’une belle touche de levure fruitée. Finale légèrement sucrée et astringente. L’alcool est présent, mais agréable.

4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Very Woody, boozy, oaky, vanilla aroma with notes of coconut and fruits, not very yeasty... Flavor follows suit with the bourbon notes coming through... Surprisingly not overly full bodied, especially in the finish, very nice on the palate, very very very complex, a definite winner... Amazing beer...
