Poured into a snifter.
4.5 A: Opaque dark orange color. Lots of healthy, frothy head with very good lacing.
3.5 S: Light fruity esters. Yeasty and some phenolic clove.
3.5 T: Mainly sweet and malty. Citrus big. Some clove and light fruit. Some hop bitterness and a some earthy hop flavor. Biggest problem is that the alcohol comes through a little too well. Still a pretty good tripel.
3.5 M: Heavy medium body. Lots of carbonation, which is typical. Alcoholic bite at finish.
3.5 D: Not bad, but the alcohol is a little too aggressive.
Serving type: bottle

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Nice golden color and aroma. Nice spiciness to finish and lingers after drinking. Not the best triple I’ve ever had but not bad.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
bottle pours hazy orange with a medium white head. Aroma is hot with alcohol and peppery hops, lots of citrus as well. Flavor is rich toasted and pale malts, dry hot finish with substantial hop presence and a nice touch of yeast.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured from a 12oz bottle. June 2009 production. Aroma is sweet and bready like a Belgian should be. Appearance is a little light. Looks more light brown/red than an Abbey should be. Taste is great however with allt he requisite flavors coming through. Notes of bread and banana and citrus notes all there. Alcohol is noticeable, but not overpowering. Palate is medium bodied with a creamy texture and decent carbonation. Great beer overall....a bit pricey though....$15 for a six pack
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from Half Time. Pours orange gold with a foamy white head. Aromas of peach fruit and mildly peppery spice. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is peach, something phenolic, and some "mildly pepper spice". Finishes more dry than not, and the carbolicity stands in for bitter. Actually seems to move towards bitter. Rather light given the 9%. Drinks nicely.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Stoudts Triple is a slightly hazy, very sparkling golden ale with a dense off-white head that fades to a sturdy film that has excellent retention and lacing. It has a fruity aroma with notes of bananas, clove, peaches and phenol. It’s medium bodied, foamy and very smooth with a clean, dry finish. It’s well balanced, fruity and phenolic. It tastes very much like the aroma. It’s spicy and a touch bitter at the finish. This is really tasty and drinkable stuff.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. No freshness date. Pours a slightly hazy golden light orange color with a fluffy 1 finger head. A very clean aroma with notes of spice and belgian yeast esters. Almost has a metallic smell to is, hmmm. Sweet malt flavors up front followed by notes of banana and spice. Slight bitterness and alcohol notes at the end. Medium mouthfeel.

My first from Stoudts. I met a guy who works for them, a friend of the Beer Maven, and he had good things to say about the organization. I am surprised it has taken me this long to give them a go, but it was worth the wait. Pleasantly sweet aroma with floral notes. Flat pour. There a cute, elfin monks on the label whooping it up. A very tasty, complex tripel: alcohol warmth, hoppy bite, and brown sugar sweetness, plus a dash of Belgian yeast and wheat malt. An excellent example of the style.
