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.

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!

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.

Magnum shared by EDA at Jimmacks. Thanks Mike! Cork had almost no hiss as it was opened which is never a good sign. Pours a cloudy almost still )very little carbonation) deep gold, copper with no head. Aroma is of oxidized cider and cardboard, paint thinner and very solvent like. Tastes medicinal phenolic, with more oxidation and stale bread. Slightly yeasty and astringent finish. Pretty nasty stuff. Good thing Frumpty decided to start chugging this stuff, so no one else would have to suffer through it. Thanks Ryan!

The taste is an awful mix of yeast and alcohol.

I really can’t see what the fuss is all about here.Hazy amber color,floral nose,good carbonation but that’s it.Mouthfeel is very unpleasant .Acidic finish with medicinal/mint/hops and overwhelming alcohol taste.Not what you should expect from a good tripel.A good tripel should not have alcohol taste coming out on top.In this case,i could still feel the alcohol coming from my last sip taken 15 minutes before.Did i get a bad bottle ?I guess not.
