3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. [thank you, Joris]
Bottle is labeled De Gouden Boom, BBE: 19/12/05
Pours murky amber with a very impressive, staying, creamy, nearly white head. Bubbles away slowly. Heavy aroma, lots of cellar, but also toffee, plums, raisins, light cinnamon and yeast. Low carbonation, fine creamy mouthfeel. Great flavour, very soft and subtle. Very light oxidation on top of a malty, vinious brew. Apples, a little chocolate, some plums, dry (hoppiness?) at the far end. Warming and still feels really fresh. Very complex combination of sweetness, viniousness and tart-like fruit. Very nice.

What? Rated this more than 2 years ago. Have my rating been deleated? 33cl bottle. Golden/amber with a large egg white head. Lots of fruit & yeast with a lightly spiced undertone. Alcohol is extremely well hidden. Very quaffable tripel from De Gouden Boom now owned by palm!

Bottle from Glen Imdownthepub, cheers for this one Glen, had this 29-03-08 Bottle dated BBE 06-09-03 so quite well aged. Pours amber in colour with some haze, some spice on the nose and yeast. The alcohol pushes through and whilst this feels quite soft in the mouth it also has a lot going on, some nice spiciness but also a dash of tropical fruits sits on a solid malty base, aroma has softened with age, and this beer goes down surprisingly weel with my fiery lamb curry, once again cheers Glen.

UPDATED: AUG 16, 2008 Draught in Brugse in tripel glass. Slightly hazy amber colour,big carbonation driving a medium off-white head and good lacing. Slight spice in the aroma. Lots of malt and more spice in the flavour. Enjoyable and the 9 ABV is well hidden.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear pale body, with a persistent off-white head and ample lacing. Aroma of bready malt, some yeastiness, quite citric and crisp. Breadiness in the aroma, very grainy, malt dominates. Some spiciness from malt and hop. High on CO2, yet with a surprisingly substantial mouthfeel. Enjoyable but, yet another cookiecutter tripel..
