Dec 6, 2008 From 50cl ceramic bottle. Pours caramel gold with thick head although subsiding. Floral notes and light citrus tones, gooseberry. Taste is thick and just as complex. Roasted malt, coriander, herbaceous mouthfeel. Transitions to bitter orange aftertaste.

Nov 27, 2008 Pour deep copper-brown with a medium sized tan head. Lavendar, metallic notes and a malty bitterness. Not great.

Nov 26, 2008 Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark amber color with a large orange-white head. The aroma was sweet, tart, yeasty and had a strong candied fruit note. The flavor was tart, bitter and had a strong cane sugar presence with strong ripe apple and pear. The finish was long tart and tangy. The mouthfeel was thick. Wonderful.

Nov 20, 2008 Pours hazy burnt amber. Smells sweet and fruity. Tastes thick with fermented fruits, sticky molasses and burnt sugars, plums, black cherries, raisins, some nuts. Aftertaste is sticky sweet.

Nov 16, 2008 750ml bottle from the LCBO
The aroma is malty with a touch of sweetness and alcohol
Pours a ligh hazy copper with a good sized frothy head no glass lacing at all
The taste is slightly sweet and fruity but i do not find it as sweet as a lot of people seem to i find it a touch watery for a triple with too much alcohol taste

Oct 31, 2008 750 mL bottle from the LCBO (zomg trappist beer at LCBO). Malty, for a triple, which makes it a bit more refreshing than others in this style.

Oct 25, 2008 Pours a clean manuka honey amber with a quickly killed head. The aroma is light and fruity, some dates, orange cleaning product and spices. A nice flavorful beer, the orange is a pleasant surprise, its almost like a foundation on which the rest of the flavours are built on, there is a good bit of malty sweetness, raisin, caramel, finishes with a hoppy citrusy orange rind flavour. Warm foamy mouth feel clinches the deal. All really pretty fantastic. I don’t know if I would really call this a tripel, but still really fantastic.
