Apr 16, 2006 reddish amber pour with no head...aroma is of spices and fruits galore infused with sugar...flavor is quite similar and opens up well after it warms up...nice and sweet, with big hints of fruit and spice, some lemon wit characteristics, with subtle hints of yeast and alcohol...nice palate

Apr 15, 2006 12 oz bottle. hazy orange-amber beer with a thick pale tan head, sticky lace. Very dark for a triple. Aroma of clove and bubble gum. Very yeasty smelling. Some apple and sweet Belgian malts mixed with the aroma of overripe fruit. Flavour is very sweet and a bit boozy. Peppery spice over a sweet pale Belgian malt backbone. bubble gum, some orange, apple and peach. It’s alright, but not what I consider a good triple to be.

Apr 9, 2006 Pours a nice amber color with a large head. Flavor was not quite what I was expecting. This thing is a ,ittle more hoppy than any other triple i had had. Different, but not that great.

Apr 8, 2006 Slightly cloudy copper pour with small frothy head. Aromas are floral and fruity with a sweet yeasty backdrop. Flavor is pretty big. Slightly astringent character is a bit distracting, but nice sweet malt mixes with clove-like spices and fruit notes in the guise of apple and orange. Fairly decent, if the flavor could do a bit more to cover the rubbing alcohol flavors that develop about midway through.

Apr 8, 2006 Dark red color, pretty surprising to me for a tripel, taste is smooth and crisp, slightly hoppy. Easy to drink, spicy and yeasty and overly malty. I almost thought this was a barley wine, then I read the label. Not too shabby.

Apr 8, 2006 Pours a cloudy dark reddish-orange color with a very thin white head. Aroma is sweet of fruits, spices, and alcohol. Flavor is pretty much the same with some alcohol warming to finish. A decent brew but I’ve had better from Stoudt’s.

Mar 30, 2006 A decent beer absolutely ruined by the dry chalk palate. Very spicey and promising in the beginning of the mouth, that gives way to the taste of licking a dusty chlakboard in the back of the throat.

Mar 27, 2006 Bottle dated 2/18/06: Pours a hazy copper color, looks very much like unfiltered apple juice. Mild carbonation with tons of small particles suspended in the glass (i’m assuming that it’s yeast sediment, this being a bottle conditioned ale). The aroma is sweet and fruity, some candi sugar, perhaps? Taste is fruity as well, hints of apple, orange peel and (surprisingly) peach. The alcohol is fairly noticeable on the swallow, not overwhelming but it makes its presence felt enough to take a little off the drinkability factor. Average mouthfeel. Overall, a nice warming sipper, I will be picking up more of this very soon!
