Dec 24, 2007 bottle 12 oz. pours golden rod faded by the sun. light foam thin lacing and palate. first smell is overwhelmingly peanut butter. the clove and spice almost distract from the alcoholic warmth that caresses your shoulders the further you sip. And sip you must as the abbey massage can quickly turn into a heavyweight fistfight for which you were highly unprepared.

Dec 17, 2007 bottle. pours a deep golden with little head. aromas of spices and fruits. medium and spicy body. Flows over the palate with a nice spice and warming quality. Very smooth and well balanced tripel... a bit different from the Belgian Tripels I’ve had in the past... this one is more Americanized, which I like. Very very good - I want more.

Dec 15, 2007 Rating #200. 12 ounce bottle in Westmalle glass. Hazy golden orange with flat white head. Candy sugar, alcohol, and fruit (peach, apricot) aroma. Mild honey sweetness, very fruity, mild tobacco bitterness, candy sugar alcohol finish. Medium-full body, medium carbo. Particularly fresh, bottled 11/08/07. Might be better aged a few months. A decent triple but not one of the best.

Dec 15, 2007 Man this thing was pretty sludgey - the yeast was running around the bottle at the end - very sweet and spicy - tasted less then 9% - ok

Dec 10, 2007 Another one of those weird American tripels. Hazy orange body with a nutty/yeasty aroma, this one has an oddly cloying quality. Doesn’t seem to know whether it’s a sweet malt brew or a tart effervescent one. Ends up being a bit of a mess.

Nov 19, 2007 From bottle : Pours a hazy amber orange color, with a small short lived fizzy white head. Nose of fruits, bananas, some yeast. Flavor is fruity as well, not as good as other trippel, the aroma wasnt as good either. Also very detectable alcohol content in the flavor. Palate is pretty heavy for this style, kinda weird bittery ending.

Nov 11, 2007 Not that great for a tripel. Wheaty and yeasty flavor, with definite alcohol presence. The flavor is weak for the level of alcohol. A strangely bitter yeasty finish that wasn’t too pleasant. Easily drinkable though.
