BeerandBlues2 (3201), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear dark yellow-orange with a small, fizzy white head, mostly diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, hay, straw), average hop (flowers, perfume, grass), heavy yeast (dough, horse blanket) with notes of banana, clove, pear, and ginger. Medium bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

Oct 31, 2009 22 oz. Pours a pretty golden amber color with a 1/2" white head. No lace left behind. Aroma is bread, yeast and sugar. Moderate in body with healthy carbonation. Prickly on the tongue. Flavor is bread, orange peel, apple with a sweet background. Alcohol is present, but not annoying. Fairly decent effort.

Oct 25, 2009 Bomber - Poured a slightly hazy golden amber in color with a small white head that quickly faded to almost nothing. Aroma is malty and quite sweet with plenty of bready yeastiness and some fruity esters (grape, green apple?). Flavor is malty and quite sweet. Plenty of yeast. Alcohol is apparent in the flavor (some harshness) and presence felt in the "burn" as it goes down. The harsh flavor detracts from the overall experience. This is an OK tripel and I enjoyed it, but it could use some work.
SuIIy (1408), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA
Oct 23, 2009 Bottle. Pours a redish color with minimal white head, body then fades to a golden orange color. Nose is a sweet syrupy malt note with some light banana and a miniscule hint of clove and vanilla. a light sweetness. Palate is syrupy with a cloying feel and a bitter, stingy finish. Leaves a light alcohol and film note on the throat. Flavors of light syrupy caramel malt with hints of cherrys and vanilla and some banana and a light bit of coriander.
