"A special and strong Trappist ale. The use of coriander gives it a spicy character. Golden in colour with a fruity, bittersweet taste.
Ingredients: Water; Barley malt; Hops; Yeast; Coriander

A nice tripel. Aroma is light fruits, sweet and spicy, peppery with a nice floral scent. Appearance is a deep golden orange in color, huge amounts of head. Mouthfeel was a little too harsh and thin for my liking. Flavor is sweet malts, light fruits with an alcoholic kick.

Pours hazy bronze golden with a thin, mostly maintained beige head. Aroma is a mix of fruity esters: pineapples, bubble gum, and phenols: apples, and candied fruits. Taste is lightly sweet with most of the flavors present in the aroma. Some of the phenols are overpowered by alcoholic esters. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with a Belgian alcoholic light stickiness and lush carbonation. Nice and probably my favorite of the La Trappe lineup.

BOTTLE: rich gold pour, tannish head. Fruit and malt on the nose, plus some spice. Taste is mildly bitter, spice, fuller-bodied, very good tripel.

Nisse666 (1973) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - JAN 2, 2010
Flaska 8 grader, Provdatum: 2009-08-19 D: Jäst, aprikos, smörkola UTS: kristallklar kopparfärg, hög fin krämig krona S: Jäst, aprikos, äppelmos, alkohol smaken är tyvärr inte så väl kamoflerad som den borde vara. (Som bartendern på Sofitel i Gent sa till mig för snart 10 år sedan: så börjar man inte med en triple man jobbar sig upp med en svagare trapist etc etc). Ta en titt på Lorden ovan - har dragit i sig en massa belgare innna han sänkte denna Triple. ES: Mediumlång OBS. bottensatsen är bitter, tappa inte upp den i glaset då blir det surt (som räven sa). Låt flaskan stå min tre dagar i kylskåpet, kan vara svårt om det är massa barn som springer i det ;-).

MrRomero (1959) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - MAY 28, 2008
33 cl bottle, best before 02-2010: poured clear amber with a huge off white head. Drank at cellar temperature, about 68 degrees. Moderate bubblegum and dough aroma. The flavor? Pretty huge. Bubblegum notes, big alcohol, cognac-like flavors with not quite the alcohol. I would love this a little cooler but as it is, it’s pretty damn good.

Quevillon (1955) - Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 25, 2006
Probablement ma préférédes des quatre de La Trappe (embalage cadeau). Riche, épicé, fruité, bonne. Et ça ne veint pas de la Belgique.

frankenkitty (1953) - Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA - MAR 10, 2006
Pours a coppery, whisky color (with thick legs to match), a haze of large particulate and a small, cream-colored head that fades fast to a halo. Caramel malted aroma with pear, pepper and white wine. Smooth, thick body with a fluffy lift to finish. Flavor is sweet malted fruitiness with earthen and woodsy notes, ending with grapeskin. In a word, relaxing.
