Jan 4, 2007 750ml, sampled May 2001. Pours a bright white head that sits dutifully atop a hazy golden body that looks as if it contains an oily honey. Raucous sweet malt aroma escapes the confines of the glass, a prelude to a nose of alcohol, candy sugar, generous malts and peppery fruits. Flavor is much the same, now hops are showing thier face, along with some tart caramel. Alcohol is very warm but not offensive, meshing quite well with the spiciness and sweetness. Palate was medium to full and the body seemed very well rounded and expressive for this style. Finishes on the dry side with a lingering white pepper component. This example seems to have just enough bitterness from hops to compliment the other nuances, never detracting from the quaffability. Very tasty, never too sweet. Great triple, a classic.

Jan 3, 2007 Bottle. Golden colour with an average head. The aroma is yeasty, with a bit of fruits and little spices. The flavor is spicy, bit hopped, caramel, and bit dry in the finish.

Dec 19, 2006 Bottled. Hazy, pale yellowish nutbrown colour with huge fluffy white head. Aroma is acidic fruits with some flowery hints. Flavour is stingingly spicy and also very acidic fruity. Quite dry finish, but not much aftertaste. An ok and quite clean tripel, but then again nothing that surprises either.

Dec 11, 2006 This amber ale pours with a nice white head, eliciting a flowery hop aroma. The flavor is fruity and spicy with a dry finish. This is a decent, but rather blase example of an abbey ale.

Dec 8, 2006 Bottle. White and astoshingly low head. Hazy yellow body. Aroma of hops and heavily dominated by alcohol. Acidic hops flavor with a lot of carbonation, probably in a not succeeded attempt to hide the alcohol. I simply do not understand your high ratings. Is it: Oh my goodness its Belgian it must be good. Bullshit. (Heard somebody talking of a Belgian mafia).

Dec 7, 2006 Bottle, pours a golden amber colour with a deliciously large pillowy white head. Aroma is equally delicious, malty and spicy, with touches of yeast. Sharp and peppery on the palate, quite carbonated, but that works well offsetting the alcohol sweetness. Dry and sweet in a relatively short finish.
