<i>From 11.2oz Bottle.</i> Slightly hazy golden pour with a tall, soapy white head. Clouds of yeast empty from the bottle into my glass, transforming the frosted brass haze to a hue of tea tinged honey. Semi sweet aromas of toasted marshmellows melted in a hot banana and seasoned with a pinch of cinnimon spice. A touch of herbal lavender and marigold stems add some gentle hop tones to the otherwise yeast dominated aroma. Light, lively carbonated mouthfeel with loads of yeast and a bit of cinnmon toast. Enticing flavors of teriyaki grilled chicken with some mild clove spice. Final smack is a bit musty, and allows some smokey almond notes and green pepper spice to develop. Delicious example of a tripel.

Dec 26, 2008 Bottle. Cheesy and banana-y aroma. Rubber cement. The 10% is quite noticeable. Plenty sweet. Simple and mostly inoffensive. Pours a cloudy,, dark orange with plenty of floaties. Flavor has lots of alcohol. The yeast phenols lean toward the rubbery and band aid side. A hint of sweeter fruit. Not much in the way of hops. The candi sugar rears its head upon warming. Some honey and gingerbread? Medium to full bodied. Mouth filling carbonation. Slightly chalky on the tongue with a rather hot, alcoholic finish. Meh...

Dec 17, 2008 33 cl bottle from Total Wine Tucson - Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a 1/2 finger thick white head. Very light spotty lacing. Aroma is sweet esters and alcohol. Flavor is esters, sweetened malt, candi sugar, and spice. Fairly smooth, but the alcohol is noticeable in the finish. Medium to full body. A nice beer.

Dec 13, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy dark yellow with floating particles and a white head. Aged malt, dust and light lemon/herbs in the nose. Flavor was sweet with notes of light caramel, lemon, grass, hay, fruity yeast character, mineral-like water and resinous bitterness. Full and round body with moderate carbonation.
