33 cL bottle, courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours clear and golden yellow with a huge white head. Aroma is mild fruity and slight caramelish. Fruity, malty to caramelish sweet. Light phenolic. Medium dry and caramelish into the finish.

Bottled (from beerplanet.eu). Hazy pale nutbrown/orange colour with huge foamy longlasting slightly off-white head that leaves good lace. Aroma is fruity, spicy, a bit yeasty as well. Also a slight salted liquoriceish tone to it as it’s been in the glass for a while. Flavour is fruity, spicy, yeasty, a bit toffeeish with a slight alcoholic burn in the finish. Gets quite peppery once it warms up a bit. Rather wellbalanced and imho a very pleasant Tripel (even though I lately have said Tripel is a rather useless beer style...).
