Feb 17, 2008 330. Pours a cloudy buttery medium amber with a thick and billowing platinum blonde head. Intermittent starry lacing. Caramel, butterscotch, sugar, and hay on the nose. Medium, creamy, slightly fizzy body. Caramel, green apples, sugar, hay, grass, and floral notes on the mid-palate. Slight alcohol bite. Nice appley finish. Great stuff.

Feb 15, 2008 La stappo e ne esce un vulcano di schiuma che mi annaffia tutto il tavolo porca miseria; c’è qualcosa che non va?! In effetti dopo averla versata in modo da limitare il danno il più possibile, pian pianino, acquista un aspetto guardabile sia fuori che dentro la bottiglia. Aroma un po’ caramelloso ma pungente con uno stranissimo sentore di umidiccio/marcio non so come giornali bagnati, però bagnati di succo di pera, o mela, o forse banana; il sapore è molto più "tranquillo" (o forse meno martoriato) e comincia con un dolce stemperato da un asprigno che si evolve nel piccante dell’alcool. Chissà se i Sanniti bevevano una cosa del genere quando mangiavano le uova cotte nella cenere. Ottima tripel, ma secondo me questa bottiglia ha subito qualche trauma e ha qualcosa che non va... se no, sicuramente un poco inferiore alle mie aspettative. Ah menzione dovuta ai sedimenti di lievito: talmente tanti che sembra una pasta e fagioli dorata.

Feb 14, 2008 Dark gold color with a frothy 2" head. A yeasty banana smell took me back to the days of Redhooks Original Ale. Medium bodied and lightly carbonated. Nice taste is a yeasty, fruit centric concoction with banana, apple, and cherry flavors. Has a slight alcohol sting to finish. A tooty fruity tripel here. 1107

Feb 14, 2008 Pours a cloudy orange color with lots of effervescence and a massive, brilliant white, creamy head which is mostly lasting and leaves lots of nice lace. Nose is nice for a tripel with lots of doughy and spicy yeast notes, pear, some floral hints, and maybe some cardamon. Flavor could be nice but is overshadowed by large amounts of candied sugar; other notes of include spicy yeast, light doughy yeast, faint pear, and some nice bitter hop notes. Palate is nice; lively, round, creamy, and more than medium in body. Finishes somewhat unpleasant with candi sugar, spicy notes and some bitterness lingering with some definate warmth. Not what I was expecting with such high scores. The nose, appearance, and palate were all good, but the overpowering candi sugar and the offputting finish just killed it.

Feb 9, 2008 hazy burnt gold color with a fluffy creamy head. sweet spicy yeast aroma with some fruit hop notes. soft bodied with a dense carbonation. fruity alcohol flavor of apples and pears, yeast, a cookie dough maltiness, and a strong spiciness. full and strong flavors but balanced and surprisingly easy drinking

Feb 8, 2008 Poured a dark golden yellow with a huge fluffy white head that came bursting out of the bottle. Aroma is of yeast, hops and sweet fruit. Flavors of yeast and dough really come through. Body is medium with lively carbonation, almost too much, but it is still an excellent brew. Easy drinking for 10%.
