So I bought this Belgian together with La Trappe official glass. Poured and orangey tea look matched well toffee / sweet cherry aromas. Nothing spectacular just nice. Hmmm, I must say that it tasted more complex than aroma would suggest. Pear at start transforms into mid roasted malts with specific for Belgian ales finish. A bit earthy, garden like.

This is a thick malty beer, with a touch of hops. It seems like a typical Belgian beer from what I can tell. I did notice the alcohol taste in the flavor which in general I don’t like but seems to work here. It is a more mild version of some Belgians I have had.

Aroma is yeastly and citrusy. Pours a very hazy copper with lots of floaties and a nice white head. Start is malty with a sweet middle. The yeastly banana flavors really shine through. Alcohol is well hidden. Slight bitter finish. Where would we be without monks?

11.2 oz. Not sure how old this is - it still has the La Trappe label on it. Pours a dark amber, one o the darkest tripels I’ve seen. Small quickly diminishing head. Smell is earthy, carmel, heavy yeast/biscuity - very appetizing.
Initial taste expodes in the mouth - earthiness, sourness and a light nutty flavor. Light sweetness, not as sweet as most tripels. Strikes me more of a Belgium strong at this point that a tripel, its probably the aging. Enjoyable.

Nice amber colored pour with a nice tan head. Malty yaeasty aroma slightly spicy as well. Sweet malty, spicy and a little fruity taste. I liked this.

Darker than usual for a Tripel. Pours a copper cloudy with thin white head. Aroma is yeasty esters and fruity ones. Flavor is slightly salty at first and in the finish. Notes of peach, apricot and figs. Pretty good.

Bottle. Dense, stable, lacing beige head over a hazy orange pour. Spicy aroma of coriander, sugar, oranges, and malt. Smooth and slightly oily, strong taste of orange peels and pleasantly warming alcohol. Spicy but not as spicy as expected. Hops are well-rounded. Not my favorite triple, alcohol’s a bit too prominent, but a good dessert beer.

Bottle. Pours a nice hazy amber colour with a big creamy mostly lasting off-white head. sweet aroma of honey, caramel, toasted malt spices and alcohol. The flavour is sweet with honey and caramel, toasted malt, some dark fruits, spices, some oak and alcohol. Sweet spiced finish.
