Excellent strong beer. Doesn’t taste as strong as it is. Carbonation a bit low.
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 LawofCreation (8) - Memphis, Tennessee, USA - JUL 21, 2005 does not count
Woah, at 15 bucks a 6 pack.....well it was worth it. Pours a honey carmel color (or glowing orange, whatever) and has a small head that builds up then settles down lacing about 1/2 the glass. Bottled, drank from a mason jar. The taste is sort of sweet with a coffee-ish taste. Slightly bitter finish, guess it’s the alcohol, which gave me a slight shudder after I’d let it warm up. Drink this ho cold, it does not do well warm like similar beers. I’d say try it....you’ll love it or hate it but at least you’ll be a little wiser.

It is east coast triple night here at the household. This was preceeded by a Victory Golden Monkey which was pretty tasty, how will this beer hold up to it? 12oz bottle, no date listed, but I have held the beer for several months. The beer is served at 64° in my NB worthy glass. The color is golden orange with a small, whispy now, off white head and the beer sports a ton of fine, suspended (and otherwise) particles. The aroma is orange blossom honey, orange, lemon, banana, yeast, and vanilla? The taste, at first, is tart, citric, (almost sweet) malt with melon (they are right) flavors. The next taste is spicy, with some alcohol heat and a peppery finish, that is nicely dry with some citric notes. The mouthfeel is very nice. A very, very fine beer. Thanks go out to the Captain and whoever got me this beer, it pains me to say that I forgot.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 wunderbier (1434) - Tampere, FINLAND - JUN 28, 2005
12 oz bottle, snifter. Ruddy bronze hue with a quickly diminishing white head. Warm white bread, sugar cookies, canteloupe, banana, green peppercorns, wet lawn, musty filling cabinet, honeysuckle aromas. Moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter flavor becomes a lightly sweet, moderately acidic, moderately bitter finish. I really enjoy the yeast profile...like a condemned library in a bottle. Good, firm hops. Medium-full body, velvety texture, lively carbonation. The bottom line is: mine didn’t look to great, but it seems others had more luck...if a yeasty, spicy tripel is your thing, check this beer out.

Pours a light hazy gold color with a small amount of fizzy white head. Aroma is really caramely with undertones of alcohol and spices. Flavor is overly sweet, caramel, banana, spicey yeasts with a slight alcohol finish. Overall, I found the beer way to sickly sweet and I in no way wanted another.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 fly (1357) - austin, Tejas, USA - JUN 18, 2005
Sweet - near honey to start, but with plenty of those delightful Belgian aspectsto go with it - complex - tart, buttery, bitter, sweet, yeasty, yeasty, yeasty. And I mean that in a good way.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 fatty (363) - Perkiomenville, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 13, 2005
Kind of a hazy caramel colored body with a thin white head. Good blend of sweet citrus and spice in the flavor with a hint of candied malts and warming alcohol. A little peppery in the aftertaste, but a smooth drinking beer.
