Stoudts Triple

This baby’s going on my "Must-Have" Christmas list, Groundhog Day List, Super Bowl list, Easter List, Bob Clow Day list, Pistachio Day list, PS2 Medal of Honor and Call of Duty list, etc. I pour this one in an oversized Karmeliet glass. The nose is nonpareil! Color--gorgeous. Taste--well, I don’t give 20’s for nothing. Run. Don’t walk. Buy it. Drink it. Love it.

Delicious beer...tastes somewhat like the Golden Monkey but with a little more alcohol burn going down...ironic since I think it has less than Golen Monkey, which is probably my favorite. I first tried this at a poolside bar in Florida the summer of 2006, the saw it again in NJ and I liked it even more than I remember.

This is the closest US brewers have come to Blegian beer. Instead of making a Belgian-style beer, they went straight for the real thing somehow. Really strong, like some one tipped some whiskey into it, but true flavor to a traditional Belgian triple. Well balanced and satisfying....just don’t drink too many of them in one sitting.

Full-bodied and tasty; solid well made addition to the style; vanilla flavored and robust! Very nice.

Bottle. This is a beautiful example of a great American brewed triple. The beer pours a dark orange with no head. The aroma has a candy sweetness which is somewhat reflected in the taste along with spices. There is a full flavor and mouthfeel even though the beer itself is not thick.

A very good example of a belgian triple in the US. I’d really like it if they came out with an aged variant, or one in a 750ml bottle more suitable for aging.

Bottle: Nice cloudy orange-rust color with wisps of yeast fluttering about and a cream-foam head. This has a big spicy, yeasty nose. Likewise the flavor of this beer is BIG ... robust warming alcohol-based body with a spicy flourish ... clove, pumpkin. Intense. This is like an "Imperial Tripel" if there were such a thing. Quite delicious.

Not as much head as I would like, but nonetheless the flavor is wonderful..All you expect from a tripel, fruity aroma and taste, yellow/orange color, full body, spiciness. Very nice. Comparable to La Maudite or Chimay Cinq Cents more than Westmalle.
