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.

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.
