| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 5, 2007 Meets expectations for the Trippel style, though apparently it’s Belgium proper that produces St. Bernie’s 12 and other mightiest examples of the style. But this is delicious. Smooth and creamy as it’s supposed to be. By meeting basic expectations for this most delicious of styles, it gets a 4.1.. MrDick (277), San Francisco, California, USA

It tastes like somebody finally found all those lost bees, rounded up the hive and dripped all the honey into the bottle. Some tang spice and light malt finish.

Smells of bananas, yeast, and spices. Alcoholic flavor and finish, and leaves a nice flavor in the mouth. I good solid Tripel. Emil (6074), Copenhagen, Denmark

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 2, 2007 Complex flavor indeed, it would be difficult to describe all the flavors that are involved. Just keeping it simple and reporting it as being quite enjoyable.
