Apr 18, 2008 22oz bottle poured into a Chimay glass. Towering Fizzy white head. Nose of honey and yeast. Good but unremarkable in that respect. At first sip I did not understand why this was so highly regarded. Taste is mostly yeast with hints of honey and citrus poking through. But then comes the finish, probably one of the best finishes in a beer I’ve had yet. Starts of with hints of honey and lemon and a slight alcohol burn. Then a short hoppiness tempered by a strong dose of vanilla following with a huge caramel note that seems to linger forever. Fantastic and remarkably balanced. Should also be noted that as this beer warms more interesting things come out up front. Spices such as coriander and clove and some strong malt. I think I even detect some anise and ginger. Really worth of its rating.

Apr 17, 2008 Bottle. Rich golden orange colour, huge gently fading white head. Sweet vanilla malt aroma. Flavour is full bodied with plenty of fruit, lots going on as this break dances on the palate. Incredibly well balanced. A top class Belgian !

Apr 15, 2008 Bottle 33cl. Pours a golden coloured tripel, slightly cloudy. White head that disappears quickly. Average carbonation. Broad malty taste, strong ethylic aftertatste. The composition of ingredients seems to fit, round taste overall. In my opinion much better than Westmalle Tripel

Apr 14, 2008 Updated: Apr 28, 2008A great tripel... nothing like a real Belgian. And this is a fine example. Wholesome body, handsome head, sweet and malty, noticeable corriander, easily drinkable and yum to the YUM!

Apr 13, 2008 Bottle. Golden color with some small floaties, lots of carbonation, and a big and rather stable white head. Aroma of yeast, fruits, spices, some malty notes and hints of hops. Sweetish flavor at first with some malt, a bit of caramel and some oatmeal character, then turns spicier and drier with yeast and some hoppy bitterness in the finish. Medium to full-bodied. Dangerously drinkable.

Apr 12, 2008 Clear and light in appearance...moderate sweetness that does not overwhelm. Flavors of pear and white grapes. Dry in finish, not bitter. Pretty standard tripel here, but more complex than the American comparisons.
