DuffMan (2719), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada Sep 7, 2009 Clay bottle. Pours an impressive dark orange amber, cloudy, with a rapidly rising lively cream-coloured head that fades rather quickly. Fruity toffee aroma, sweet, hints of yeast and spices. Sweet palate, full-bodied, a little sticky, with flavours of almonds, marmalade, toffee, bread, and spices. Finish is dry, but not really bitter. Alcohol is a pleasing warmth in the throat. Very nice sipper! arrogantb (694), Denver, Colorado, USA Aug 31, 2009 Trappist beer from Holland, this should be excellent. Slightly hazy orange with an especially strong aroma of fruits, slight alcohol and sweet candy; I really like this smell. The taste is complex, spicy, fruity, very good. This is a very nice tripel.

Aroma is vague fruit, yeast and malt notes. Flavor is more of the same, add in some caramel, though there is a little kick of spice hidden in there.Finish is soft and dry. FatPhil (3442), Espoo, Finland Aug 27, 2009 330ml bottle (Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Righ orante, brief frothy head. Apple, pear and a touch of peach in
the aroma. Lively carbonation, alcoholic vapours in the mouth. Simple
sweet malty body, touch of alcohol, but not actual burn. Dry tingly
hops. Uninspired. Possibly the worst Trappist beer I’ve ever
encountered. ononews9 (25), Hanover, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 26, 2009 12oz bottle poured into a tulip glass. smell of apple, pear, and grapes - which is demonstrated in it’s taste as well. overall good tasting beer. ljay6880 (132), , Pennsylvania, USA Aug 26, 2009 12 oz bottle served in a tulip. Pour was a dark copper with two fingers of slightly off-white head. Nose is candied sugar, apples, pears, grapes, and Belgian yeast. Taste is Belgian yeast, apples, and a bit of sugar. This beer comes off much light than I expected. It is quite tasty, but the fruit salad, also known as the aroma, is my favorite part. DSG (1501), Tel Aviv, Israel Aug 21, 2009 Bottle. Hazy dark orange-amber color with a huge frothy white head. Very estery aroma with banana, spices, bubbleum notes and yeast. Sweetish-spicy flavor with fruity esters, some candies and a slightly drier finish with a bit of alcohol. Medium-bodied. Nice.
