Jul 25, 2008 Big Bottle. Poured a rich gold color with a massive white head. Smelled of coriander and orange peel, with some traditional abbey notes of caramel and raisins. Tasted about the same except the coriander and other spices were not as strong as they were in the nose. Nothing special here. I am not a fan of spices or fruit in beer, but thought I would give it a try none the less. Atleast the high alcohol content will make the rest of the bottle more enjoyable.

Jul 16, 2008 The big bottle pours bright golden and slightly hazy with generous fluffy off white head. It’s got a peppery aroma and flavor, with mild orange and biscuit notes. The belgian sweetness is very subtle. Soft carbonation and medium bodied. It’s good, but not as intense as some other triples I’ve had lately.

Jul 13, 2008 a different beer, its heavy on the herbs and spices. strong coriander with some mint and rosemary. It gives a off great malty flavor. Decent

Jul 13, 2008 The aroma is equivalent to that of a skunk’s rear end after it has eaten several rotting rodents and a clove of garlic. Appearance is a cloudy dark yellow with a thick head but no lacing. I’m actually afraid to drink this..... ok... here goes: Umm.... Coriander, Malt, Corn... Not horrible but not good either. This is supposed to be a tripel? Palate is about as smooth as my feet after walking on hot coals.
