750ml botte, 2008. Golden amber, minimal off white head. Light malt, caramel, some belgian yeast with light fruit. Very smooth, medium bodied, light carbonation, sweet, nice dry finish with a bit of booze at the end. Has definitely improved with age.

heavy (1466) - Split, CROATIA - NOV 17, 2007
0.75 l bottle opened with big pop. Poured bit murky lighter orange body with big ebony head. Very nice, sweetish aroma of banana, orange, with some spicy fruits. Other component include some caramel malt and at last, typical Belgian yeast. Flavor is quite bitter, even for the tripel, but also sweet on the other hand. Fruity, as in aroma, full bodied and quite nice. Moderate carbonation. Finish is quite long, bitter. Very nice beer all in all, although I had better triples.

From Moncton NB Liquor, Pours a nice copper hazy color with a pretty big white head. Aroma of dark fruit mostly grape and some grain and herbs. A very complex aroma. I have a hard time figuring out the rest of the ingredients. Sweet taste with a medium bitter alcohol finish. Very good and masks the alcohol very well

Bottle, thanks ekstedt. Clear dark amber with a mostly diminishing, small, creamy off-white head, leaving a fair amount of lacing. Lightly malty, moderate to heavy on the hops, some yeast. Caramel, perfume, orange, soap, broth bubble gum and chalk. Moderately sweet and lightly bitter with a short finish. Light to medium bodied, fizzy carbonation, alcoholic.
