Pours a golden cloudy in a trappist chalice. Aroma has notes of banana, fruit, spice and a little clove- but not too much. Refreshing on the palate, not overly bitter - smooth and fruity. Yet complex enough to sustain interest.

On tap at Paradiso in Dupont Circle. Blond with a big white head. Tastes like a Tripel, lots of sweetness with some fruity notes. Slight alcoholic bite at the end.

My favourite beer at the moment. Fits to the winter nights, going out or staying at home.

Hopper (751) - The Alamo, Texas, USA - NOV 30, 2009
An unclear orange beer with a nice but disappearing head. The aroma was mild with some fruitiness. The taste was a light fruit taste such as orange & pears with a slight spice finish that was very peppery. Very nicely done for being 8% ABV.

scrizzz (2183) - Bothell, Washington, USA - NOV 29, 2009
Big Chouffe 2006 magnum. Mostly sweet on the nose, some peppery tripel yeasty aroma. Dark gold and effervescent when I poured it into my glass the morning after it was opened. Active dancing sediment in the glass settled to a filmy sludge over time. Spice forward in the sip, banana, pepper and clove. This beer has held up great.

Bottle from Mr Lawrence wine merchants, Brockley. Pours a cloudy golden colour with a white head. Aromas of caramel, citrus, summer fruits, cinammon. Floral scents. Flavours of steamed apples, toffee, sweet spices, barley sugars, citrus. Finishes fruity with a very nice hoppy edge. Tasty!

andersand (484) - Malmö, SWEDEN - NOV 29, 2009
Blond with a huge white head, extremely clean and clear looking. Aroma is extremely typical for the style with light sweetish fruity malt and plenty of bright fruity yeast esters. Flavour is similar but with a alcoholic touch that brings it down a bit. Ends with on a bittersweet fruity lingering note. Very simple and straightforward, utterly drinkable though.
