Feb 9, 2008 Acidic aroma, spicy banana bread and sweet orange peel. Dark cloudy yellow, bubbly thick head, lots of sediment. Mm, caramel and hearty whole wheat bread, lovely sourness in the finish. Well balance from sweet to sour great smooth full body, from the tip to the back of my tongue. Delightful.

Feb 9, 2008 Bottle. Banana esters, slight orange, spice, and peace aromas. Very bubbly yellow with thick foamy white head, sticking to the sides stubbornly. Caramel and peppery ester flavor, mild acidity. Sweet, but balanced, with a touch of alcohol in the finish. Smooth, creamy palate.

Shared with rigk and a non-ratebeer friend
2002 vintage, labeled 7.0% ABV
Shady apricot color, some yeast particles, small white head. Sweet, spicy, "sweet licorice" (we have the salty ones in Sweden/Finland) and alcohol scent. Some grains and solvents. Very sweet and spicy taste, some milk. Medium to smooth mouthfeel. Low bitterness. A bit of apples.
It does not feel like 6 years old at all.

Jan 31, 2008 Dark coppery colored with hazy appearance. Little white head. Strongly spiced aroma with lemon and grains, medium alcohol comes up also. Slight disappointment. Medium bodied, crispy carbonated. Flavor also starts with grains, turns to more hopped and spiced with sweet fruits. Aftertaste has some yeast with mild alcohol and spices. Flavor is much better than aroma.

Jan 29, 2008 11.2 oz. bottle on 1/29/2008. Hazy gold with a medium, loosely structured white head that collapses fairly quickly to thin layer. Light fruity aroma, some alcohol evident, notes of honey. Light to medium body and lively effervescence, some stickiness, but pretty smooth. Good balance of light malt flavors and soft bitterness. Finish is softly dry and lingering.

Jan 24, 2008 This one poured a cloudy orange color with a big bubbly white head that slowly faded away and left the lacing on the glass. The aroma was of citrus fruits, malts, orange peel, and a touch of hops and spices. The flavor was full of citrus fruits, spices, and sweet malts. I also get some caramel in there with some hops to balnce it out in the background. There is a nice balance to this one. This one is smooth and spicy on the palate with a nice sweet, dry finish. I liked this one better than the regular tripel. Nicely done.
