33 cl bottle. Served in St. Bernardus goblet. Hazy gold w/ big, creamy, stable head that sticks around until the end, and leaves good lacing. Most impressive. The aroma is well-hopped, citrusy fresh, and well-balanced. The flavor is perfectly balanced between citrus, hops, slight sweetness, solid malt backbone, and long, spicy, warming finish. The alcohol remains hidden. Mouthfeel is impressively full and soft. Eminently drinkable. A superb tripel; one of the very best I´ve tasted.

light red-brown transparent beer with a weak head. strawberry honey body in the smell, yes lots of sweet honey. The taste is subtle sweet sour. Then its an unexpected subtle sweetness, on a body of warm grains and yeast with a very light hoppiness, almost leaning towards pure chocolate. Nice tripel, subtly individual.

wow... weird aroma on this on, chilli and other spices, kruidnagel, chilisaus (the sweet stuff), gardenspice or chickenstock... taste is darker, sweet with quite some kruidnagel... it’s a shame that these sensations die out after a sip or ten, but those ten are pretty fkn shocking... weird thing is, i don’t really know if i like it, it’s original (and pretty tough) but it’s weirdness is a bit unboozelike, a bit autumn dinnerlike...

Servida en The Drunk Monk (Mataró). Siempre he sido un gran amante de las tripel y este es un gran ejemplo de gran cerveza tripel. Con cuerpo, aroma, buen final de trago.

Slight hazy deep golden beer with nice white head. Aroma is soft, malty with some hints of fruits. Taste round, malty with some hints of honey and some light hops in the finale.

Bottle, 33 cl. Dark yellow color with a white head. Aroma of yeast, some caramel malt. Taste is sweet, bitter + dry. Good triple
