Commercial Description:
A strong Belgian style ale that is brewed with candy sugar to help reach the characteristic alcohol content for this Belgian Tripel. It is a light golden color with a slight sweet fruity character that melds together with a hint of black pepper spiciness. It is a very smooth and deceiving beer as it is very drinkable but due to the 9.8% alcohol by volume it will make you very happy, very fast. Please enjoy responsibly.

Ahh, the smell of floral candle wax, just what you want in a beer. It went well with the pale golden brew that had no carbonation and no head. Especially pleasing was the vanilla (my least favorite candle aroma) flavor. To complete this experience was the very sticky extremely creamy mouthfeel. Yep, not doing this again.

Poured a frost-hazed golden (settling clear) with an off-white head that was quickly a halo. Belgian yeast provides a banana nose, underpinned by dishrag, sweat and light Karo corn syrup. Candi sugar would have been better in moderation, as we find a sugary, sweet, sticky atmosphere that detracts from the yeasty flavors that wish to dominate. Add to the overdone sweetness a mild gut-burn and you have a beer that is quite difficult to drink by the pint. I suggest you try a sample instead. <br /><br /><font size=-4>On tap at <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=3103><u>Ram Restaurant and Brewery</u></a>, Rosemont, IL 60018<font size=-1><br />
