3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Color is hazy copper-orange. White head is thick and lacy. Aroma is fruity and spicy with banana and alcohol. Sweet flavor is much fruity, spicy and yeasty. Maybe a bit wheat malty also. Aftertaste is quite dry, fruity and long-lasting. Medium-bodied, very smoothly carbonated and foamy palate. Alcohol can be felt but hardly tasted.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Colour hazy reddish orange-brown, smal white head. Fruity aroma with some yeast and banana, a hint of lemon. Flavour is malty and fruity, with a nice sweet and warm aftertaste. The weakest Trappist beer I’ve had so far, but still very enjoyable.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Stonework bottel 0.5 l. Bought Kvickly Hilleroed. Color clear golden amber with white head. Pleasnat sweet raisinlike aroma with spicy notes - justa perfect note of corianter and alcohol. Taste is sweet,longlasting and slightly bitter, the coriander is by no means dominant but is present im a perfectly discrete way. Mouthfeel soft with nice carbonation. The classical deeds of the Benedicitins are kept in this beer - simplicity and love.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Head is quite small and dense. Liquid is a bit hazy and reddish orange/copper in colour. Rich and sweet maltiness with yeast and fruits like banana and some citrus fruits. Something "dark" in the malts, maybe burned sugar? Long and enjoyable finish with hoppy bite and some alcohol. Body is quite full and thick. Dries in the finish. Medium carbonation. Maybe a bit simple tripel that has great finish.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at St. Veronus. Not a chock full of flavour on this one. Very clear appearance (unlike most belgians). Smell is of sugar and molasses. Mouthfeel is very thin and flavours of yeast and white sugar (oddly enough) appear on the tongue. Wasn’t too impressed. The quadrupel is leagues ahead of this one.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: JAN 28, 2009 TAP at the castle on king. 6 oz taster. pours murky golden with an average white head. aromas of funky white wine, some sourness, fruit in the nose as well. flavours are yeasty, sour, funky, belgian candied sugar, vauge hop finish. it was drinkable with soft carbonation. ill try it again but it wasnt the best offering i had tonight. 7/3/7/3/12 BOTTLE. 750 ml bottle from the LCBO. Ive had this in the cellar for a while and cracked it with about 6 months on it. corked 07/08. the bottle wasnt sour like the tap version i tried. incredible soft and sweet. very refined with no alcohol present. nice to look at but lacking the dynamic flavour profile of a really good triple. a let down but still overall pretty decent. i still want to try this one again. 6/4/7/3/12

(cleaning out my beer bottle collection as pictured in my profile and utilizing ratebeer.com)
As I recall, this was a good Tripel. I am surpised I had to add this to RateBeer. If I can find the bottle and have not thrown it away, I will submit the picture.
