JorisPPattyn (4246), Antwerpen, Belgium Apr 24, 2008 Special Bottling 3/4 l Orange beer with slight haze, no head. Fruity, passion fruit, brandy nose. In the taste, a wild strawberry flavour, alcohol, some fresh, but sweet malts. Quite slick and viscuous, alcoholexplosion backthroat. Very good tripel, if changed very much by the aging. goldtwins (3672), Nesconset, New York, USA Mar 30, 2008 Poured a hazed amber color with an off-white head. The aroma had light leather, moderate citrus, and a hint of spice. Sweet malt flavor with light citrus. Medium bodied. JoeMcPhee (3628), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Mar 16, 2008 Bottle 200/642 shared by notalush. Deep golden-amber colour. Aroma is lightly funky and a bit fruity. Lightly peachy and apricoty with some soft leathery and a lightly barrely and bretty funk. A soft vanilla and a rich oaky character. Lean and lightly vineous with a softly sweet Belgian maltiness. Quite nice. These guys really know what they’re doing. heemer77 (3609), North Liberty, Iowa, USA May 15, 2008 Thanks for sharing, Mark. Bottle 596 bottled in 2007. The body was light bronze with an off white head. The aroma was strong apples and oak. There was also some almond character. The taste was funky oak and plums. There was also some cinnamon and raisins. Interesting and funky.
