Jun 28, 2009 Bottle 33cl from crackedkettle.com. It pours a murky golden beer with a tall white head. Cork, melon and grape in the nose. Really true to the style. Grape, white bread, coriander, melon, cork, orange and earthy hops showing up in the taste. Decent bitterness. Full bodied. Long bitter finish which is reminiscent of cork and melon. A very pleasant, typical Tripel.

Jun 26, 2009 (bottle) a nice dark honey color with a good head. This tastes a bit heavier than other triples, probably because I’m sensing more malt. A strong flavor of dried fruits. Alcohol flavor is evident, but not overpowering considering 10%abv.

Jun 25, 2009 A ridiculous amount of gushing, even after soft handling! Rather annoying. Thick, rich honey-golden color (dirty but wonderful) and the head took years to dissipate! Aroma of pilsner malts, lemon, honey, piney hops, orange. Sweet, yet also a dry austerity in there. Sweet, strong flavor with honey and lots of fruits like cherries and apples. Big alcohol burn as well. Maybe too evident. Very interesting, though, like but then unlike any other tripel. Extreme.

Jun 9, 2009 Pours slightly hazy golden orange with a 2 finger fizzy white head. Lasts for a couple of minutes. A lot more carbonation than I thought there would be considering the cork almost blew out by itself. Aroma is a grassy straw funk with some apples and perhaps golden raisins. Flavor has a strong bitterness with some cotton candy sweetness. A slight brown sugar malt. Extremely dry with a nice warming alcohol. Body is very rich. A solid find while on vacation.

Jun 6, 2009 A very champagne-like brew. Excellent robust flavor with a subtle alcohol content. Hints and tastes of sour apple, fruity citrus aromas. Great long lasting head with excellent lacing. Good brew!

Jun 6, 2009 Wow a sweet malty aged Belgian ale smell. A perfect cloudy orange sunset color with lots of sediment. It is delicious, strong, and malty after 10 months of aging.
