In the bottle. Pours a cloudy white gold with a big poofy white head. Great intense carbonation. Not a very strong aroma. Taste is delicious. First second and third sensations are alcohol burn. Great medicine flavor. Burning man palate. I think this is an awesome triple. Nice amount of yeast crud in the bottom of the bottle. Initial sweetness gives rise to epithelial fixation in response to the ethanol dehydration of the mucosa. Fabulous!

The Kasteel Donker is one of my top beers, but I find that the Triple, while decent, does not live up to the quality of the Donker. Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer pours a medium golden color with a large white head. The mouthfeel is moderately thick. The flavor is very sweet with some spiciness, a bit of tang and a yeasty finish. There is alcohol burn on the finish as well. The spiciness lingers on the tongue.

Poured yellow and cloudy. Aroma of yeast and banana. I felt more than tasted the alcohol. This was a pleasant surprise.

cloudy dark yellow, creamy appearance with lace. Smooth, with yeast flavours of bannana and sweet fruit coating the experience. Alcohol not detectable but then hammers you.

A true contender for the best beer in the world. Deep, sharp, mellifluous. About the best thing you could drink before bed--heaven in a glass.

had this on draft in antwerp, in a string of bad ones....is that possible, yes it is, if your not in the right place. this was the best of the lot at this old cafe we sat in all by ourselves as the bartender looked as us uneasily. (didnt know if he just didnt like us or because he hated GWB, which most of them do) nice belgium yeast in the nose with beuatiful haze and a thick white head. banana fruit and spices no real alcohol feel . smooth almost greasy on your palate. good.
