Near perfect wicked ale. Incredibly refreshing with many complexities throughout.

Liquid mud, but oh... so good. One of the best trippel style beers I ever had. Great nose, better palate. And the 8.5% alcohol is just in the perfect range.

A true classic--a beer with a lot of body and shape, a great copper color, a strong yeast flavor and an almost syrupy acidity. Good stuff!

Corked bottle from a store in Crystal Lake, IL (Jason Vorhees was the cashier). Pours with typical Belgian ale flair: nice, frothy head, deep amber with reddish-yellow highlights, and lively carbonation. Aroma is slight banana with a quick injection of orange and wood. Nice lacing around the glass. A fat orange slice with a bit of yeasty peachy immerges almost immediately after the beer makes contact with the tongue. Balloon-like palate that starts small, expands in the middle, and slowly fades. Nice, nice feeling on the tongue. Lingering woody notes in the finish. Alcohol is a bit stingy, but it never detracts from the overall feel and taste of this beer. Exceptional Belgian; I dare say it’s one of the best I’ve had.

Definately one of my favorites. But there is a huge difference between draught and bottles. Bottles are nothing special, but if you this beer on draught .... get it!

0.33 l bottle. Pours murky yellow body with small head. Almost perfect aroma of banana with some hints of orange... Flavor nice pleasant, but not so full. Well balanced, maybe just a bit sourish and a bit bitter the way reminding to triples. Leaves laced glass while drinking. Small carbonation. Finish is good but too short. And alcohol - 9% seems impossible, it’s not felt at all. Abbey double or strong ale, whatever...this is really a great beer.

Old gold coloured with large foamy white head. My bottle says 9% ABV btw. Aroma is citrus, floral, sweet malts and esters. Taste is honey, sweet malts and fruity esters. Smooth, moderately carbonated with a long sweet finish with a touch of bitterness. Very nice.
