UPDATED: JUN 12, 2005 I thought Maudite was the top Unibroue, but this kicked its ass. Insane body ... I guess I stored it wrong because it foamed all over the damn place. But a deliciously spicy flavour, clean finish and drinkability, and the perfect sweetness made this the king of Quebecois beers. Also enough alcohol in one bottle to crack your head open.

Large lasting head, cloudy orange color, smells of orange and caramel. The taste has a big alcohol domination with a sweet fruity/citrus/caramel flavor. Dry finish with alcohol again predominating. VERY tasty!

A fine trippel aroma much like Chimay Premiere, my favored Chimay. Spicy, heathery, Bretty, subdued citrus, complex fruit acids, semi-dry, zesty, alcohol piquant. It’s much better when I shake out some effervescence and it becomes a bit more yeasty, sweeter. An excellent fruitier remix of Chimay Premiere, the best of the Chimays.

UPDATED: JUL 8, 2003 Wonderful maltiness, and I feel the fruitiness is subdued. But what clinches this as wonderful for me is that the piney spiciness I often get in triples in nearly absent...just a hint. For my 'slow' palate (it had to ride the 'short' bus to beer-drinking school), that gives the citrus, and sweeter fruit flavors, a chance to shop up, especially when warming. I love the malt/yeast in this one.

I would expect to taste more alcohol in a beer with this high an abv%. Smooth, little bit of fruit, nice beer!

2000 vintage: Gently yellow colour with high carbonation. Some apple & peach notes in the taste. Alcohol flavour is right up front (good thing, people). Very dry wine-like aftertaste. Heaps better than Duvel.

Had this beer for the first time at a beer tasting party. Bought my first 6-pack (they sell 6-packs in Canada, 4-packs in the USA) while in Niagra Falls with my family. Very nice, fruity beer. The complexity changes wonderfully as it warms in the glass. I love that Belgian candy sugar influence, whether used in this brew or not.
