Bottle @ Beer Mania. Labeled as "Tripel Abt," which ought to make style-nerds scratch their heads. Just goes to show that tripel and abt are not really cohesive styles. But I digress. This is a hazy, golden beer with a lasting white head. Sweet and malty nose with caramel and white raisins. It’s a sweet beer with a thick mouthfeel, and I couldn’t restrain the image of drinking cotton candy. Tasty but cloying. Taste some darker fruits despite lighter malts. Very light bitternes with some alcohol showing through. I was in the mood at first, but in the end it was too sweet to enjoy the whole way through. Would be a fine dessert to split with someone.

Aug 16, 2008 Bottle. Amber beer with a nice whitsh head. Malty, toffee aroma with some yeast and a touch of spice. Richer malt flavor with some caramel, light plum/fig fruitiness and nice complementing yeast/spice. Fuller bodied. Lingering rich caramel malt with nice yeast and a bit of fruitiness and spice. Nice balance.

Aug 15, 2008 Dirty brownish orange, moderate almond coloured head with brief retention and a little lacing. Sweet demerara sugar aroma, a little spicy. Sweet and spicy up front with a touch of cooked apples/pears, a peppery hop character in the finish along with well-integrated warming alcohol. Quite nice actually.

Jul 23, 2008 Bottle 33 cl. Pors a brownish golden with a small white head and a sweet aroma of malts and ripe fruits. The taste is a full-bodied heavy sweetness, but the taste isn’t as complex as most other beers in this style. A nice beer, but there are far better beers in this style.
