750ml bottle poured into my Darkness glass...Not quite a gusher but a big pop with a slow crawl. Huge carbonation as I’m only able to pour about three ounces of beer and I get about nine fingers of head. The head is nice, pretty and fluffy tope; sick lacing. The beer is a nice honey gold. A little less head would have been nice, but not sure how this could look any better...The aroma is a bit much for me as its dominated by pepper, of the black variety, not sure I or anyone could tell the difference of a green peppercorn, but it sounds cooler, right? Trying desperately to pull anything else out but the pepper and I can’t! Not the note that should be dominating your beer. I actually like the pepper of it, just too much, needs to be 1/10th of that level...The taste tones down the pepper on the front and gives off some nice floral and honey notes that I quite enjoy. However 2/3’s of the way through the pepper makes a come back, especially on the swallow. Still too much for me, but an interesting twist. As I drink it more and it warms slightly better. Again not bad just too much pepper. Top five pepper beer I’ve had, but needs more restraint before its entirely drinkable.

Bottle. Pours hazy, dark gold with thin fizzy white head; short retention and ni lacing. Aroma is caramel and cereal malt, herbs, black pepper, oranges, yeast, and floral hops. Flavor is malt forward with supporting fruit esters and faint hops; crisp finish. Medium body, carbonation, and warmth.

Bottle at Brewer’s Art. Pours hazy orange with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with spare lacing. Aroma is Candi sugar, straw and meal malt, spices and fruity esters. Flavor is malt forward with spices, pepper, light hops and bitterness, fruity esters, Belgian yeast and a dry finish. Medium to full body, medium warmth and carbonation.

Appearance: deep honeyed gold with a thick white head quickly shrinking to minimal lace. Aroma: pears, peaches, honey, grain, and pepper. Taste: muddled pears in light syrup, yeast, freshly cracked pepper, honey, lemon, tangerine, with a hint of club crackers. Finish: slick, a bit a sweet, with lingering notes of yeast, pears, and pepper. Notes: This was a very thick beer. The palate was extremely slick, almost fatty. It felt like I’d just had a really greasy sausage. The flavors were nice, and the alcohol was decently hidden, but the palate was just too rich.

bought by Dave .. . Pours a hazy sunset gold .. tons of foam, sticky lacing .. . light pepper, honey, lemon zest, light yeast, and pear skin .. . medium aggressive mouth .. . good tripel! .. . . I think there should be something in science called the "reindeer effect." I don’t know what it would be, but I think it’d be good to hear someone say, "Gentlemen, what we have here is a terrifying example of the reindeer effect.

750 ml, had the regular tripel last night from these guys, a little thick but here it holds up to the peppercorns. The peppercorns add great aroma and a cool spicey element to the beer. Tasty
