dreadnord (996) - San Diego, California, USA - APR 8, 2012
Pours honey orange with a big white head. Nose is coriander, honey, cloves, grass, caramel and candy. Flavor is bittersweet mostly on the bitter side. Nice bitter finish. Mouth feel is a bit astringent at first then becomes slightly smoother toward the end. Medium body, long aftertaste. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Clear orange golden yellow with good foam head. Fine carbonation. Fruity and light sweet taste.

Creedence (127) - Cork, IRELAND - MAY 17, 2013
Draught at Bierhaus. Pours a murky gold, with a thin white head. Aroma of melon, egg, spice and clove. Strong sweetness, light sourness, light bitterness. Boozy sweet finish, syrupy mouthfeel. Not a quadrupel by any stretch of the imagination. A bad Tripel for me. All too sweet, syrupy and acidic for my liking. A bit of a mess.

Abijen (203) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 7, 2013
Pours a nice sparkling golden beer with a good white head. Not much smell. A bit spicy grass herbs. The taste is medium sweet and light bitter. A bit to sweet.

LomYst (244) - Rotterdam, NETHERLANDS - FEB 11, 2013
not what i was expecting under from an "abt", more like a heavy tripel... a good one though... sweet belgian malts form the biggest part of an otherwise pretty blend aroma.. nice full sweet body but lacking of realy punch to go with the high abv...

Viper666 (2682) - Saint-Hubert, Quebec, CANADA - FEB 10, 2013
Bouteille 330ml sous le nom de "Het Kappitel Watou Tripel Abt". De couleur dorée et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (agrumes, notes de pommes) et légèrement épicées (coriandre, léger de poivre et des notes de clou de girofle), de sucre bonbon, léger de pain avec des effluves d’alcool et de houblon floral. Ronde-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement assez présent et une texture très légèrement liquoreuse. Goût de levures fruitées (agrumes et marmelade, traces d’abricots et de pommes vertes) et léger-moyen épicées (coriandre, notes de poivre et notes de clou de girofle) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de grains de malt sucrés, léger de sucre bonbon avec des notes de pain puis finalement une amertume légère d’alcool et de houblon floral vient s’installer. Post-goût moyen-long et un peu sec, légèrement amer d’alcool, de houblon floral et de levures fruitées (zeste d’agrumes)

This yellow hued beer has a wonderful and bright hefeweizen aroma but then you sip it and get a whole new beer. Dry and kind of barnyardy. I don’t know how to categorize it but I like it and the spiciness.

laiti (3925) - Tampere, FINLAND - FEB 9, 2013
33 cl bottle @ Kaisla, Helsinki. Rated on 08.08.2009
Aroma has ripe fruits, some raisins, alcohol and apricot. Flavour has apricot, some ripe fruits, alcohol, distant floral notes and hints of raisins. Also some Belgian yeast. Too boozy and stinging, just like other Het Kapittel Watou beers.

stevoj (920) - Ramstein-Miesenbach, GERMANY - JAN 10, 2013
This one will leave your tastebuds tingling! High ABV manifests in the taste. Aroma is light and appearance is good, orange gold with oily head. But the taste is where this beer shines. Sharp and spicy and heavy bodied, this a great beer for a cold day.
