Mar 11, 2008 Spicy wheat aroma typical of its style. Dark amber-copper body with decent carbonation. Strong wheat flavor with hints of hops and slightly malty with refreshingly dry finish. Exemplar of Belgian Ale.

Mar 8, 2008 750. pours hazy brown with a moderate white head. nice fruity yeast and light malt aroma. taste brings in some pear, and other tripel like flavors, but this is dry like a golden ale. alcohol bite is present but not at all unpleasant. adds a nice burn and makes you take your time in sipping this one down. the malt profile comes out more as it warms. i liked this a lot. the high abv pushes back the more subtle elements of the beer, but overall an excellent brew.

Mar 1, 2008 750 from Whole Foods, Raleigh. Pours a nice copper, with some gleaming amber in there to give it brightness. Fulsome head and a potent aroma, malty and spicy. The body is substantial, if a bit slick - not so much bready as liqueur-ish to me. Comes on with some initial spice, with currants and apples in there along with some clove and sugar. Doesn’t finish quite so well, with a mildly dank aftertaste that doesn’t suit the beer so much. But it’s certainly a good one overall.

Feb 29, 2008 Pours a copper-orange with a thick cream head. Aroma is sweet yeast, light grain scent. Flavor is sweet, full-mouth malt, slight alcohol at end (but doesn’t taste like 12% abv). great beer

Feb 28, 2008 sampled at kelly’s 2008 hell with the lid off. pours a cloudy straw yellow with a thick cream colored head that really doesn’t want to fade. lots of belgian tripel esters, with pears, apples, spices, and dark bready malt scents. taste of raisins, pears, spicy yeast, and some caramel malts. light bittersweet finish, coating and creamy mouthfeel. solid.

Feb 22, 2008 750 ml. Color is a deep, murky honey brown. Pours with a nice two finger, creamy head. Aroma slightly sweet, hints of citrus, also malts. Moderate amount of carbonation, slightly slick mouthfeel. Taste is spicy, with a nice balance between bitter and sweet, with bitter winning out towards the finish. Hints of yeast and floral flavors too. Nice brew, you can definitely feel the 12% after drinking a bit.
