3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bouteille de 355 ml, bu à Volo à Toronto, le 12/7/08. Rousse un peu brumeuse, pas de collet. Arome d’épice sûrette, malte caramelisé. Goût très sûrette, notes de bétrave, un peu épicé et pas très malté. Un triple bizzard, point!
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Batch 38. Deep golden color with an off-white head. Strong nose of alcohol (port wine/brandy) caramel, raisins and honey. Taste of raisins, pepper and spice. Nice finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Coppar colour with an off-white head. Aroma is alcohol, yeast, caramel, peppar. Flavour is sweet, alcohol, yeast, caramel, flower, pepper. Strange beer, but still a nice one.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. It pours a clear, copper body with a small, off-white head. Sweetish, flowery nose with caramel and nuts, notes of roasted malt and a touch of alcohol. Sweet and sugary in the mouth, with caramel, some alcohol and pepper and Brazilian pepper. Medium to full body, rather sweetish and a bit biting mouthfeel. Lasting sweet and peppery finish. The flavor grows better and better as you drink it, and it’s one of the strangest tripels I’ve had. But nice! (080509)
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cant really see why this beer is scaled as a tripel besides what the label says.
From the bottle pours a hazy reddish beer with a medium white head. Very earthy and dusty nose from the beets and a spicy crisp from the rose pepper with some malt and hops. Flavour is spicy but the beets is from sure there too. Its pretty weird but in some way I like it very much.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
The color was hazy brown/orange. The head was creamy, off-white, and thin. The aroma was grassy, some hops, and sweet. The flavor was grass, dirt, hops, and sweet. The palate was average. The finish was tart.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Thanks to bmartin for this. Batch 41 bottle. I’ll give it a thumbs up for an interesting appearance. Ruddy red, murky. One finger frothy earthy brown head. The nose is a bit sweet, a little alcohol, earthy, weird, I guess its the beets (?). The flavor is weird, alcohol is unpleasant, earthy, a bit sweet and medicinal, not a huge fan. The mouthfeel is average and it finishes warm and spicy.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz bottle (batch 41) pours deep copperish orange with a rose hue. It has an off white head. I’m getting an impressive complex aroma with notes of sugar coated raspberries and strawberries along with an earthy – grainy mixture that almost smells of wood. I get more notes of such things as assorted spices, yeast and just other notes I can’t discern. The taste has a load of berry fruitiness and spice. I get sweet raspberry and strawberry along with bay leaves and hibiscus flowers (as noted on the label). There’s a layer of malt sweetness running with the myriad of other notes as well as mild berry fruit tartness. Nice enjoyable mix of flavors.
