33cl bottle from Habersham Liquors (Savannah, GAa). Pours a very dark golden honey-caramel color with a thick, frothy one-finger white head. Good head retention. Smells sweet, of ripe, dark fruit, honey, faint hints of apple. Flavor is strongly of ripe fruit, caramel, candy sugar, toffee, and candied apples. A very subtle, woody, oaky flavor is present on finish. Interesting tripel.

Sep 1, 2008 Bottle... Poured a cloudy, vibrant orange with a huge, HUGE forming white head. Citrus fruit, hops and some esters on the nose. Medium body, a good carbonation but also a nice, thick consistency. Flavors of hops, a malty sweetness, and some yeasty, ester notes that give a nice dryness. Other fruity notes, like citrus and plum maybe. Not over-bearing with the sweetness, I think a lot of Tripels can be.

Aug 20, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a froathy head which lingers as a thin layer, pale yellow, minimal nose, multiple spice layers, which roll over the tongue, tart, bitter finish. The spice layers were the strength, lots of carbonation dominated.

Aug 14, 2008 Bottle in Bruges. Golden colour, big fluffy white head. Aroma of fruits, slightly tart, spices. Flavour is malty sweet, fruity with a sourish finish. OK.

Aug 13, 2008 Bottle 750ml. Pours hazy and golden with an enormous loose white head. Aroma is spicy and fruity. Flavor is sweet and tart, and the finish, instead of being yeasty, is dominated by botanicals (citrus zest and corriander). A bit too sweet for me I’m afraid.
