Commercial Description:
A strong, full-bodied Belgian Abbey-style beer. The traditional yeast strain that is used imparts a rich array of spicy and fruit-like flavors. The prominent clove and melon notes are complemented by the sweetness and alcoholic warmth of the beer. The appealing color of glowing orange makes this brew irresistible.

Hazy orange with a fluffy white head. Smells and tastes like orange marmalade spread on banana bread. Cinnamon, clove and alcohol come through at the finish.

350 ml bottle. American trippels constantly disappoint me and this one disappointed maybe a little bit less than most. Some decent spice and fruitiness, with mid-to-high level sweetness. I truly wish our brewers could recreate the restrained sweetness and creamy body of the real thing.

765 mL capped bottle, vintage date - 11/20/2001: extremely dark red-bronze, fluffy cream coloured head that settles, but never diminishes, into a thin foam with thicker patches dispersed sporadically throughout – several more appear spontaneously…deep bready aromatics, with sweet banana nut bread, soft nutty alcohol, & sweet honey. Cotton candy blends with spicy cloves, bret-like yeast, & soft flowery pepper. Dry chalky palate with some tannins, leather and hints of iron as the liquid closer to the dregs is poured in. I love how this one gets funkier as I move through the bottle: yeast blends with slightly metallic components, sourdough and even some horse-blanket, wow! Santa (Eyedrinkale) sure came through this year, I can’t thank you enough, what a treat!

Pours hazy orange with a large, creamy head. Very nice bready and fruity aroma. Extremely sweet and slightly citrusy flavor. Strange finish that detracts from the brew. Not too bad.

Cloudy orange body with a frothy white head. Aroma of bubblegum, cloves, and passion fruit. Flavor is sweet to the point of almost being bitter, with big banana and estery notes, some spiciness as well. Alcohol hardly evident. Finishes dry and sticky. Good.

From the newer 12 ounce bottle line and simply labeled "Triple." Cloudy orange appearance with a thin off-white head. Banana, clove, and citrus aroma. Clove is abundant in the flavor profile, with banana holding ground in a distant 2nd place. At the same time, this is on the sweeter end of the Tripel spectrum, but I prefer the spices toned down a bit.

Full amber body, nice glow with a full-on Belgian-sized head. The head fades, but not too quickly and not quite completely. The aroma is very fruity (slightly dried stone fruit) and a bit of nuts (walnuts?). The Flavor is malty and slightly warm from the alcohol and leaves a sour aftertaste that is the main drawback of the beer.

Bottle bought at Stoudts brewery. Poured into ommegang chalice. Now, gather round children....This beer looks so fantastical that I was astounded by it. I held it up to the light and it could not break through. The head was large and powerful and remained for a long time. I tried to get as much yeast and sediment off the bottom, and yet, despite failing that, the clouds within this brew were so layered and huge that it looked like a picture of the planet Jupiter. After 2 minutes resembles freshly pressed cider. Delicious, complex taste I would expect from any quality dubbel or tripel. You can feel, but not taste the alcohol. Stoudts has absolutely blown me away.
