OleR (3510) - Oslo, NORWAY - SEP 24, 2006
UPDATED: JUL 29, 2007 On tap @ In De Wildeman, Amsterdam. Light brown body with off-white quickly disappearing head. Caramel and fruit aroma. Taste is candysugar-sweet with malts and alcohol. Quite light mouthfeel. Finish is short and dry. Nice but too straightforward and plain for a tripel. . . . . . . . . Re-Rate 29.07.07. 750 cl corked bottle cellared for 18 months. Big fluffy lasting off-white head. Clear dark copper colored body. Very aromatic. Peach and marzipan up front followed by scents of toffee, caramel, malt and yeast. Malt, candy-sugar, acdic fruits and alcohol in the flavors. Hints of yeast. Very mildly hopped. Medium body. Dry, fruity finish.

Sigmund (3495) - Hafrsfjord, NORWAY - AUG 4, 2005
330 ml bottle, bought in Denmark. Pours with an enormous head. Colour is deep golden to brown (amber), slightly hazy. Very nice aroma of fresh and dried fruits, spices, oak and exotic wood. Flavour is slightly spicy and peppery on a malty sweet basis with brown sugar and oaky elements. Not bad.

KyotoLefty (3480) - Kyoto, JAPAN - DEC 29, 2009
Sweet, rich malt flavor, body medium to heavy. Very sweet, with lots of honey. Nice, but lacks the hoppiness and balance of the best tripels.

This one looks and smells kinda like a peach, yet i was suprised it was lighter in color than the dubbel. This beer was also headless.

nick76 (3461) - Tampa, Florida, USA - JUL 1, 2006
The aroma is spicy and fruity. It has plums, coriander, cloves, malt, alcohol, yeast, and bananas. The appearance is amber with a medium head. The flavor is very much like the aroma with moderate bitterness. The alcohol is well hidden but the aftertaste is a little astringent. The palate is quite thin for an Abbey Triple. Overall it’s not too shabby.

Jukkabro (3457) - Tampere, FINLAND - OCT 26, 2006
Coppery colored, little white head. Lively carbonation. Aroma has good spices with hoppy, floral, caramelly and fruity touch, mild alcohol also there. Medium to full bodied. Crispy palated. Flavor is more alcoholic with spices and lemon, also some bitter hops there. Aftertaste lasts with medium alcohol and some sweet caramel.
