Rather well-aged Dark red-amber, rather than pale, full of UFO’s; thin yellowish-amber head. Very winey nose, sweet fruit drops, strawberry mixed with caramel. Again winey and fruity in the taste. Superb fruity and complex, especially retronasal. Could beat any "quadrupel" hands down. In the aftertaste, just a hint of bitter chocolate. Full bodied, slick, nearly viscous. Is this a tripel? Well, I couldn’t care less, honestly. It’s great - maybe just a tad too sweet in the start - and this after many, many years cellaring. Wow.

Cloudy golden colored beer, off-white head. Smell coriander, don’t like it. Taste also not very much to my liking, with again coriander coming through. Carbo and body are ok.

On tap at ’t Arendsnest. Hazy golden orange colour, white head. Aroma of buttery malt, yeast, sweet fruits. Flavour is sweet, fruity, yeasty, light spicy bittersweet finish. Light bodied, watery texture.

Bottle: No head to speak of, grey-amber coloured, cloudy; sweet fruity and grainy nose, accompanied by a light yeasty touch; moderate sweetish flavour, medium bodied; yeast is present in the moderate sweetish-bitter finish, tartness almost not detectable. Amateurish brew.....

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy amber/orange coloured decent Tripel brew, with some hints of vanilla and caramel.

Reminded me of a French biere de’ garde .... LIKE Jenlain Blonde ,only with more booze and spice emphasis. Very earthy , with nutty maltiness . Sweet malt is rich ,t fruity esters are in an earthy spice. Very drinkable . Nice vibez overall.
