4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
330 ml bottle at the Molenhof in Oostvleteren. Golden color, large fluffy white head, great lacing. Aroma of black pepper, straw, grass, caramel. Taste is very malty, but also has plenty of hoppy bitterness, peppery flavors, and a very slightly sweet edge. One of the best tripels I have had, certainly a textbook example of the style.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
33cl bottle. Pours a dark orange/amber with small dirty head. The liquid is hazy and has lots of tiny bits in it. Nose : striking aroma of banana and caramel. Brow sugar. Cheese notes. Sip : Decent carbonation and low to medium density. Sweet beer with ester punch. The alcohol is warming. The bitterness is covered but present and fine. Nice thing about this beer is that on it’s label they say what ingredients they used : 4 types of malt, Magnum and E.K Goldings, home cultivated yeast and some crystal sugar. They also add the numbers : 19ebc and it has 35ebu. Interesting.

Bottle: Poured a dirty beige color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of spicy yeast notes with delicate sweet malt base. Taste is a nice ix between some spicy yeast notes with light peppery undertones and a delicate and floral semi-sweet Belgian malt base. Body is quite full with limited filtration and great carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Very nice rendition of the style with nice touch of the yeast strain.
