3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A: Poured with a large head that seems quite creamy and frothy... diminished down to 1-finger size. Lacing is fair, but not what I expected from the size of the initial head. Body is a copper color and hazy.
S: Aroma of light malt and light yeast. Some orange in there too, and traces of alcohol as well.
T: Very nice flavor that begins lightly sweet with malt, and then becomes more fruity and yeasty, as you’d normally expect from a tripel. Little bit of alcohol bite in the finish.
M: Medium-bodied with a thin-to-oily texture, and lively carbonation... almost too lively.
D: A very decent tripel... not my favorite of the Trappist entries, but still a very good beer.

Bottle:
Flavors come through a bit more reserved as compared to the aroma. Notes of yeasty fresh bread, caramel, nutmeg, banana, orange zest and ripe apple come through. In the end with 1 of 7 trappist in the world I would put this one #2 of the Trappist

33cl bottle poured into a La Trappe Trappist glass. Copper with a small off-white head. Aroma is candy sugar, fruit, spice, slight alcohol. Flavor is the same. The alcohol is a bit warming. Good beer for a cold day.
