Style: Abbey Tripel
Berkel-Enschot, Netherlands

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip

pours a cloudy orangish with a small creamy egg-shell head, great lacing.
smell is faint, sweet fruit (pear, apricot), some spice, touch of citrus, some yeast.
taste is fruit, some spice, touch caramel.

Dark plum colour, thick white long-lasting foam. Aroma of ripe fruits, grape, apple. Bittersweet flavour, figs and chocolate in the aftertaste.

Bottle, poured into Abbey glass. Not that dark - more of a honey colour. Creamy beige head. Nose is fruity and grassy. Taste is yeast, pears and peaches. Quite carbonated mouthfeel. Alcohol sticks out a bit, but doesn’t totally overwhelm the hops at the end.

on tap at the Doerak, Delft. A reasonable white head. Hazy blond colour. A good triple

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.

14-MAY-2010, bottle @home. Quite high white head. Yeasty, floral nose. Very dry, quite high carbonation. Fine Tripel, but not the best.

Not that flavorful for a tripel. Spicy and fruity flavors seemed subdued. That said, its still a pretty damn good beer.

Amber coloured, not typical for triples. Fine white head. Good aromas. Flavor little spicy and good malty.
