3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
[Bottle from Risky-Finn.] A nice triple of the style, but it takes time for me to swallow this entire bottle of ceramic. Heavy notes of straw, alcohol, fruits and harshness (...in a good way).

when i poured this and saw the copper color i knew this had to be good.This was close to the dubbell but a bit stronger.It had a medium body with some dark fruit and a small bite.This alo was warming going down.This brewer kicks butt.Gotta love them.

dark orange in color with a smallish off white head. aroma is of sweet malts and traces of belgian fruit spices. taste was somewhat bitter combined with the sweetness. not nearly as good as the quad.

UPDATED: JAN 8, 2007 <Bottle at home, b-day 2005>
Very tastefull Abdij beer, lots of different aromas including abricot and even some banana. Sparkling copper color and a very lively head.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Shiny golden with a big cap of butter colored head. Bright rum vapors--spicy and restless, a layer of warm, melanoiden rich malt, and green plums to round out the aroma. Lively carbonation and a fruity sweetness, a touch of tartness, and a clean dry finish. A well executed tripel!
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a dark honey color with a thick and fluffy bed of foam. Sweet banana, pineapple, and tangerine in the aroma. The flavor is sweet with banana’s foster combined with some tangy pineapple. Lively mouth feel. Good stuff.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice average head above a golden murky body. Aroma is ok... a bit of musty orange, raspberry and white wine. Dry fruit flavor with some dry honey in start and finish. Pretty good.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: JAN 31, 2007 Encouraged by the delicious Dubbel I moved on to this. Perhaps I need to remember that the reverse order would be better. While this has higher ABV it is lighter and not as malty. Once again smooth is the word. Lovely apricot, peach and plum nose with a hint of hop. This beer slides down. Clearly a big alcohol beer but nothing of that harsh fusel type of alcohol that can sometimes detract from this style. What a find.
