On tap at the brewpub; color was a dark, rich gold. Aroma of sweet malt, banana, alcohol and spice. Flavor was much of the same; not great, but quite good overall.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured hazy gold with a bubbly white head. Good lacing. Sweet, perfume aroma of bubblegum, straw, dank yeast, and spice. Rich flavor for a tripel. Fruity with apricot and banana. Strong bubblegum and spice, and it gets the diacetyl sweetness in the back. Candy-sugar syrup sweet. Alcohol is not masked well and the beer takes on a liquer flavor as it warms.

GABF 2008. Apparently this took gold medal this year. Spicy estery aroma, dried straw, chamomile, apricots and yeast. Sweet palate, more fruit than in the aroma, still tons of spice, with a peppery finish. A little too sweet, but otherwise quite nice.
