Oct 1, 2008 750 ml. bottle. Pours a thickish quickly deflating head, lovely lacing, color is pale yellow but cloudy...nose is belgian yeast spice, some cardamom, no hop....taste initially of carbonation then mild sweet malts with accompanying banana tones, finishing with mild hop bitterness, sweet and bitter well balanced....mouth feel appropriate to style.

Sep 26, 2008 A decent beer, but disappointing when put next to the 12. Has most of the characteristics of the BT, but in subtler terms. Creaminess, wheat, and other vague goodness with perfect carbonation level. Recommended, nevertheless, get the 12 if available, as in my experience it is only about 10% more in price.

Sep 23, 2008 The carbonation is in perpetual and random motion in this dark golden cloudy ale, with its thick white head. The complexity of flavors, sweet, meadows, bitter, even sour, keeps me interested and coming back. A real fine trippel.

Sep 22, 2008 Updated: Sep 7, 2009330ml bottle (Punavuoren Ahven, Helsinki, Belgian Weeks) - shared by mjs - thanks!
Almond and walnut aroma. Rich amber. Tiny persistent head. Quite vapoury. Lovely soft palate. Loads of fruity esters, but loads of nuts too. Very nice. Ɩ-4-7-4-14=3.5)
Rerate: Bottle (cracked Kettle, Amsterdam)
Fruitier, some apple-pie pastry feel too. Right balance of malt and hops in the mough and the bitterness is great in the finish. Some almonds and walnut papers there too. Score the same, but it might be an underrate.

Sep 14, 2008 750 shared with Brie for the kickoff of the Patriots vs. Jets. There are some "cheese-heads" in the stadium for Favre’s first start at home for the Jets. The pour is cloudy orange with a long lasting thin white head. The head stays in my Chimay chalice till the last sip. The aroma is of bananas, bread, and a hint of that funkity funk that I love. The mouth feel is smooth and heavy. The dominating flavors are banana, citrus, pepper, and bread. The finish is buttery and sweet. It’s been a while since that last time I have had a beer this complex. This might be the best triple that I have had, the Gouden Carolus is a close second. (so far)
