this beer made me winch. Very strong alcohal taste - overpowering everything else. First poor sample I’ve had form stoudts. But I’ll try more from those guys,

On tap at Ortino’s Northside. Pours a hazy orange amber with a small white head. Standard tripel aroma of banana, some citrus and spice. Palate is a bit thick with an alcohol burn at the end. Flavor of alcohol up front with a floral, citrus and spice in the taste. A nice feel and taste overall. Could not have a bunch of these due to the "thicker" feel but still a solid tripel.

UPDATED: AUG 26, 2005 Tried this again and it was really really good. Don’t know what happened last time but THis was great. Was incredibly smooth. Had a lovely ginger taste i thought and was kinda sweet tasting too. The other time i tried it, it had to have been a bad batch or something wicked went wrong.

On draught at the brewpub, aroma honey, yeast and nutty. Arrived to me in a horrible beer tasting glass, deep drk amber with nice creamy head. Flavor was good cinnamon and pepper with a slight floral tail. Palate was light but very creamy. Overall a nice tripel.

Fiery, brazen orange in color. Some speckled sediment floating freely, and a small, creamy grey head with good retention throughout. Aroma is wondrous, with strawberry shortcake, vanilla, cloves, lavender, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and candi sugar. Flavor is rich and sweet. Banana, cinnamon, cloves and pepper register first, followed closely by a saffron and floral composure with some anise to spice things up. On the underbelly lies caramelized plantains. Light yet substantive. Somewhat effervescent, but very much in control. Finishes with orange crème, pepper and cloves. Satisfyingly sweet and easily Stoudts best beer that I’ve had. Thanks for the bottle, tpkenned!

Out of a 765 ml corked bottle. Deep golden color with an almost brassy head when first poured. Honey sweet nose with some spicey and alcoholic tones. Honey syrup flavors with an almost peppery heat. The alcohol in noticable in the exhale. Very lively on the tongue.

Diminishing head and soft carbonation; fruity, aromatic nose: honey, peaches, grass, and pepper; dubble-like fruitiness and a dry finish; orange peel and clove notes; warm alcoholic palate, finsihes yeasty and dry; a decent trip

poured a copperish color with a small quickly diminishing white head, aroma of fruit, spice, sweetness, as well as for the delicous taste, this was good and smooth, just the way i like them strong and smooth.
