(330 ml bottle from 1828 Vintage House) Pours cloudy gold/amber with about a finger and a half of whitish head. Aroma of caramel nougat, fruit and vanilla - very nice. Mouthfeel medium-full, soft, lightly sticky - very nice. Full, webby sheets of lacing. Flavor is sweet and fruity with notes of caramel, nut and vanilla. Light-medium bittter hop presence. A subtle spice/pepper note builds as it warms and carries through to a lingering peppery aftertaste. ABV well-integrated providing a nice warming effect. Nice tripel from Belgium.

Pours a cloudy yellow with a small head and very nice lacing. I had this in a tulip glass and let it warm a bit which brought out the aroma much better. It smells fruity (especially citrus like). It is thin, as triples can be, but a bit too thin. It is slightly dry and bitter but no over whelming. It is also sweet and that sticks on your tongue a bit just like honey wood. This beer is a tough one. Just when I want to bury it I find a redeeming quality.
