[Bottle at Niels] Triples is not my first choice, but thisone makes me wonder why. Full of ingredients and lots of different notes: Fruit, bitterness and not so much alcoholic taste.

21.05.06 Jimmack Invitational ’06 2000 magnum bottle thanks to EDA. I had little intention of rating this beer, but once Frumpty starting chugging fro the magnum, well, I had little choice but to enter the record for posterity. Not much good going on here as it’s mostly a harsh chemical/medicinal aroma and flavor with little good happening to the stuff over the years. Well, when Ryan started to chug the stuff turned into liquid gold and I’ll always remember the events that occured later that day. Hooray for Brugse Tripel!

Very drinkable beer, there’s not a hint of alchohol present.. I’ts a bit fruity but lacks complexity.. very nice though..

Bottle. For its category, mediocre, not very complex, but by international standards, stellar. Very, very agreeable tripel.

UPDATED: SEP 2, 2007 Bottle from Utobeer. Golden like honey with a fluffy white head. Has a sweet aroma and even tastes a bit like honey with a sort of thin syrup like consistency. full bodied. Not bad but not exactly a favorite.

Sampled at the JimMack ’06 Invitational. from a six year old magnum that EyeDrinkAle brought back from europe. color is cloudy dark golden brown. solvent-like aromas, signs of oxidation. flavor is like a cheap scotch but not too hot. dryish malts, downright homeopathic tasting.

Magnum thanks to EDA. Hazy golden color with no head. Medicinal, vinous aroma with lots of oxidation. Stale, carboardy flavor with some yeast, tart apples and Windex(at least what I imagine Windex would taste like). Very little carbonation. Not a nice beer.

Jimmack "06. Pour was clody with small head. Nose was shellac!? Taste was not as good as the bad nose!! Ryan, however, as Paul stated, really took a liking to this.
