Bottle. Pours an orange color, with a big head. Aroma is very sweet, and tripel alcohol tones. Flavor didn’t seem too balanced to me - sweet, but too much alcohol noticed that overpowered it. That, combined with some metallic hints made me slightly unimpressed.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Very much foam. Sweet aroma. Flavor the same: very sweet, strong, but not alcoholic. Oily finish, very warming. Great beer!

Bottle brown, 330 ml
Appearance: Amazingly thick head, extremely huge, frothy to creamy, body is very cloudy, orange like but little bit metallic, like deep, gold honey but very hazy, head is regular in structure, creamy white, body is full, lasting till the end and gives very thick lacing.
Aroma: Good quality wine or champagne, banana, orange, citruses, lemon, wine grapes, yeast, wheat, malted barley, very creamy, mild, subtle, grainy, milky, refreshing, flowery a little bit, lilly or rosy, very fresh, cranberries, a little bit of forest or fresh garden, buquei of aroma is really very complex.
Flavour: Amazing! Kicking your mouth and palate, of course your ass to. Sweet, like fresh, well balanced, good quality wine. Wine grapes, nice fruity sweetness, very natural tanguy, like fruits from liquor. Alcohol is also distinquishable. Grainy, malted barley of very good quality and mild. Irisy nose, wheaty, very full bodied, fresh, white bread, perfectly builded alcohol, yeast.
Palate: Very complex, alcohol is present but very well hidden, florality, fruitiness, maltiness, wheatness and fructo- sweetness. Amazingly long finish. A little bit tangy, yeasty.
