mephisto (1144), Taiwan Mar 1, 2006 caramelly fruity aroma with hints of spice and yeast. cloudy copper with white head. allfreej (358), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Feb 15, 2006 Bottled, purchased at the brewery. Pours tawny, with a light tan head. Fruity, alcohol-tinged notes in the aroma. Cloves, yeast, and fruit in the taste, with a warm, alcohol finish. Mouthfeel is firm, but not thick. An excellent Tripel from a fine brewer. NYHarvey (2154), New York, New York, USA Feb 13, 2006 Yeast and fruity aroma. Red/orange color with a thumb thick tan head. Fore is alcohol, yeast bannana and fruit compote. Finish is spicy with more bannana notes. Pretty decentAmerican rendetion of a Belgian in flavor, palate and feel. OldRaspy (292), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Feb 9, 2006 12oz bottle poured a golden orange with a very small off-white head. Aroma was of honey, yeast, spices (mainly a clove scent), and a bit of banana. Flavor was quite enjoyable almost like some type of melon (sweetness) and a nice warming alcohol all flavor. Dopplebock1538 (71), Sanatoga, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 8, 2006 Updated: Jul 26, 2006Wow! Never ever has a brew explode in my mouth on the first taste . Wait a minute, that sounds gay. But i don’t care, this beer is that good. Enjoy another solid effort from a Pennsylvania brewery! RateandPillage (417), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Feb 5, 2006 Pours murky orange brown with a thin beige head. Caramel malt, bread, yeast, banana, and dark fruits in aroma. Lots of the same in flavor; also with candi sugar and heavy alcohol warmth (a bit too much). Lots of malt body. Thick. Other than dominant alcohol in flavor, very nice. Ughsmash (3983), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Feb 2, 2006 Bottle. Fiery orange pour with a ring of off-white headage. Nose was spicy with plenty of clove, melon, and alcohol. Quite sweet in the flavor department with lighter fruits... again with the whole buncha spices and alcohol. Palate was somewhat grainy, and the alcohol astringency was a tad high on the back end. Melon and clove flavors in the warming finish. Not bad, but didn’t do it for me. Cletus (5002), Connecticut, USA Feb 2, 2006 Pours amber with an off white head. Smells of bananas and yogurt. Tastes of cinnamon, cloves, some ginger and citrus. Some overripe peaches on the finish. Mouthfeel is very full.
