BeerHawk (1175), Huntsville, Alabama, USA Jan 29, 2006 Bottle courtesy of jjpm74, Thanks John! Poured a hazy dark amber with a tan head that dissipated to a ring. Great smells of dark fruit, spices (cinnamon and cloves), floral, and caramel. The flavor followed the same with fruit, floral, and spices standing out. Fruits in the aftertaste. Full body that was smooth and warming. Very Enjoyable! Delirium (495), Santa Cruz, California, USA Jan 25, 2006 Bottle. Pours a cloudy amber/orange with nice head and lacing. Aroma is sweet, fruity (banana?), and a bit yeasty. Taste is similar, with a bit of spiciness offsetting the sweetness. Thick on the palate. Finish has a bit of alcohol, with a bit of bitterness and a lingering sweet fruity aftertaste. Quite enjoyable. crazyvin (1246), New York, USA Jan 22, 2006 pretty famn good. poured a brownish hue, slightly murky with a frothy white head. aroma was a mix of sweet candy mats and banana and hops and cloves. Taste was sweet some bubblegum flavors. A nice malt precese of cloves and yeast. A nice alcohol on the palate whihc remained strong the entire ride through. BeerBlockaid (538), Jacksonville, Florida, USA Jan 22, 2006 Amber orange pour into a bowl type of glass thing. No real head as expected. Pretty good blend of mild fruits, some citric tones, a little earth and some yeast. rather smooth when drinking and not too abrasive for a triple. The second and third taste into one sipping is malty and a slight alchohol bite. Again, not abrasive. Definately an enjoyable triple, though nothing mind twisting. gputty (456), Virgina Beach, Virginia, USA Jan 14, 2006 From 12oz. bottle. Pours a burnt orange with a quickly dissipating head. Nose of coriander, yeast and light fruits. Flavor follows nose, with an alcohol burn in the finish. Thick mouth-feel with little carbonation. CMUBEERMAN (415), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jan 12, 2006 There is a lot of sweet and grassy flavors in this beer. The yeast is also very noticible in the flavor. This isn’t too bad of a triple. Thaichile (599), 10aFly, New Jersey, USA Jan 5, 2006 Tap. Clear, darker amber with hardly any head. Mixed fruits on the nose. Very thick, and mouth coating on the palate with fruit and spice. Malty and luscious not really noticing the 9% alcohol. beerguy101 (3861), Newark, California, USA Jan 1, 2006 This Abbey Triple pours a slightly hazy amber orange color from a 12 oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity (peaches and oranges), lightly bready with some pepper. A medium bodied triple. Malts are fruity peaches, apricots and pineapples. Some floral hops as well. Yeasty and a little cobwebby. Very sweet tasting triple. A little light in the carbonation which probably accounts for the alcohol bite, which is considerable. The alcohol bite of the sweetness really does not detract from the taste. Nice solid non-Belgian tasting triple. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with a big alcohol bite.
