4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Despite sitting placidly in my fridge for a couple of days, beer erupted upon being opened. Unfortunately, substantial loss of a great beer. Great corriander, complex aroma. Alcohol apparent in the finish and the warm feeling it left behind. I wouldn’t want to have more than one. Near perfect palate. Highly suggested.

Filtered gold color with an aroma of sour yeast. Gentle and innocuous flavor that moves into a sour and somewhat unpleasant aftertaste that’s vaguely reminiscent of sauerkraut. I was not all that impressed, especially since the aftertaste stood out to me far more than the flavor of the beer.

Golden with a big head, this beer has a mild, sweet Belgian aroma. It has a very sweet flavor, slightly cloying. Hard to imagine having more than one.

More of a belgian strong than a triple. VERY sweet. Both malt and candi sugar present. A little to unbalanced.

This had 9.5 %abv? WoW, Very drinkable for that high a alcohol content. Very nice brew to sip on.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
When I had my first Rogue (Hazelnut shite) I was bitterly disappointed so it was with some trepidation i opened this, my first Victory, since this brewery, too, is hyped highly on RateBeer. Oh Joy! No disappointment here! A celebration on the tongue where this money dances with lively shivers of pepper and honey and more exotic stuff that my untutored palate can’t name, but loves. This thing is creamy but still riotous and fun, a real pleasure to drink.

This is a well made beer with a strange taste, must be the spices. I couldn’t decide if I liked it or not, but I can’t argue with the fact that it is pretty good stuff (if that makes any sense).

Golden Monkey has a sweet malt taste that does its best to hide the alcohol flavor. A very good representation of a Belgian Strong brewed right outside of Philadelphia. Surprisingly I had my Victory at the Toranado bar on Haight Street in SFO.

Best American Tripel by far. Has all the marks of a classic. Can go neck to neck against Westmalle, Chimay White or Duvel.
