Stoudts Triple

(07.03.06) 12 oz brown bottle from Bierkraft, Brooklyn, NYC. Poured hazy amber with small white head. Soft carbonation. Fruity malty aroma. Medium bodied Belgium style ale that starts with moderate sweetness and fruity (grape or pear), citrusy (dried orange peel), spicy flavors. Slightly tangy. Finished with light malt fade and light bitterness. Definite alcoholic warmth. A very good drinkable Belgium-style ale. Enjoyed with beer-loving family members during the 4th of July weekend.

Pours lightly hazy brown with a small white-ish head. Aroma is quite fruity wtih an emphasis on a grape flavor that is between white and concord. There is also a little spice and noticable alcohol. Medium / full boy with a light amount of carbonation. Starts out with the grape from the aroma, rich smooth malt and earthy yeast. The finish has light prickly feeling from the carbonation, more yeasty qualities as well as light caramel malt and alcohol. While not a pure interpretation, for the price this is a very nice American style tripel.

Bottle, Sept 2006. Pours golden, somewhat cloudy. small white head. Smell was citrus, sweet/malt, and a hint of alcohol. Taste, alcohol was present, but not overpowering. Not the best Triple, but very good. Taste was of spice, citrus and lastly hops.

12oz bottle via trade with Dorwart - Thanks Jason! - Pours amber cloudy without much head. Aromas of caramel, bread, and some apple, citrus. Flavor is very yeasty. Notes of caramel there too and some apple/pear notes. Some light spice on the finish as well which is quite dry. Alcohol is well covered.. Light carbonation.

tap @ Toronado. Pours golden with a nice head. Aromas of malt and caramel, flavors dominanted by a distinct sweeteness accomp naied by some caramel and strawberry. very nice and easy to drink. hides the alcohol exceptionally well.

[011-20060827] 355mL. Light citrus and bready wafts, alcohol too. Golden-retriever-brown body, big bubbles, small head gone quickly. Spicy flavours, maybe nutmeg, with a lasting finish and a nice aftertaste. Tangy, boozy palate.

Dark golden in color. Nice head with decent lasting lace. There is no way in @#$% I describe the nose. The taste is of sweet malt, spices, honey, alcohol with hops at the end. A pretty amazing beer. Better on tap than in the bottle. Then again, I live about five miles away from the brewery/pub, so I’m spoiled!

Cloudy orange with a small white head that vanishes, leaving almost no lacing. Sweet spicey nose. Complex and intense taste ... toffee and honey, cloves and spice, yeast and sweet fruit. Slightly metalic finish. Decent American tripel, and my favorite from Stoudt so far.
