Dark amber-copper color, with a thick beige head, yeasty, earthy toasty, caramel malt, mild candied fruity nose of ripe apples, sultana raisins and plums, with a light nutmeg spicy accent and a hint of floral hop grassiness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a warmth honeyed, toasted, biscuity, caramelized malt character, with some brown sugar, toffee, rasiny, plummy,ripe apple faint coffee flavors, with a nice flowery hop grassy note, leading towards a warming, toasty, caramel, fruity ripe apple, grassy hop bitterness finish. Not your typical triple!

Bottle. Pours a dark bruin (why) body with a tan head thats shortly lived. Malty fruity apple and caramel with a spiced yeast tone. A sort of sweet and sour sauce note, brown sugar and over ripe apples with a strong finish. Pretty messy, pretty poor.

[3413-20101002] 341mL bottle. Sweet malt grains and mild sweet grapes aroma. Murky, dark brown body with a medium-lasting creamy light tan head. Sweet roasted malt flavour has hints of mango fruit. Medium-full body. Quite sweet, seems more like a quad.

2010-10-02. Hazy dark brown body, with a nice beige head that fades. 3+ Sweet aroma, dark malt, sugars, mild alcohol. 6+ Flavour is boozy at first, tangy character, the malt character seems a bit odd, touches of vanilla, plum and fruit. 6+ Average plus palate. Dull, this seemed more like a weak quad than a triple. Not great. Bottle from trade with Fred82

340ml bottle. Pours dark brown with a medium head that quickly disappears. The aroma is malt and caramel, taste is spicy and malty with a thin body. Very sweet, not a nice flavour. I don’t think i will be searching out any ,more Bieropholie beers, over all pretty disappointing.

Pours a cloudy reddish brown color with a thin beige head. The aroma has mostly caramel and spices, it’s somewhat fruity too. The flavor has a blend of spices, caramel and mild fruits. This is far from what you’d expect from a tripel and by far the worst beer ever brewed by Bièropholie.

341 mL bottle. Brown (!?) with a small, short-lived head. Aroma is Belgian, but contains a lot of caramel malt - not a common feature of tripels. Flavour is bizarre - again, this is not a tripel. I really don’t know how to describe this. There’s something candy-like, artificial to it. Thin caramel. Earthy hops. Brown apple. Thinnish. Closer to a dubbel than a tripel, but not particularly good either way.

In short: A spicy caramelized syrupy sweet beer of some kind. Not a abbey style tripel and not a good beer
How: Bottle 341ml. Batch 2. Drank a few bottles that were between 2 months and 8 months old
The look: Almost clear dark copper body topped by very small beige head
In long: Nose is some kind of spicy alcohol shooter. Syrupy sweet body. Cloying sweetness. Spicy hops... no I take that back, spices and not hops (obviously that’s not the case but that’s what it felt like). Sweet berries and cardboard dipped in caramel. There was something in the finish attempting to dry out the beer but it felt like someone put a cardboard piece in my mouth. I even got a light anise flavour?!? I’ll stop here, this is a fucked-up beer. Their Double was pretty nice but something went wrong here with the usually reliable Bieropholie. Not only is it totally off as far as the style is concerned but it is also a mess regardless of the style. This beer is to Abbey Tripels what a banana-ketchup sandwich is to jazz music.

Pours mahogney brown with off-white bubbly head, and that left lots of spider lace. However, the first tasting had almost no head. Aroma is yeasty however somewhat barleywinish was first tasting. Taste is noticeably thin for the style. Taste was Ok, a bit sweet, basic and drying finish.
