Nice, silky smooth and creamy head. The aroma is fruity, hoppy. Flavour, well I admit that La Trappe has a very, special place in my heart, I simply like their beers!! I find notes of candy sugar, ripe fruits and a nice bitterness - overall a nice tripel.

bierkoning (7776) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - MAY 13, 2002
UPDATED: APR 6, 2011 Hoppy and malty aroma and taste. Sweetish with caramel and alcohol present in the taste. Bottle, best until 5/09, tasted april 2011. Chunks of yeast, amber color. Surprisingly lacking in aroma. Sherry and tangerine in the sweet flavor. Apple. This beer doesn’t age too well IMO.

madsberg (7300) - Søborg, DENMARK - JUL 18, 2002
UPDATED: APR 13, 2003 Bottled: My first Belgian Strong Ale. A bit overwhelming due to the high ABV. A quite saturating taste. Not a bad beer at all.

hopscotch (7288) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - OCT 11, 2003
Crystal clear, deep amber ale. Even though it's not fitting for the style, I like the color. Medium-sized, creamy, khaki-colored head. The aroma is of spiced pears. The flavor is of pears, earth and oak. Perfectly-balanced. Medium-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and mild carbonation. Short, astringent, dry finish. A pretty good brew, but boring. About as complex as a seven-year-old boy. Also, I really don't like pears.

Meget flot mørkebrun og intens samensat smagspaletl, flot farve og kraftig skum.
