The finish remains mostly sweet, but some light bitterness creeps in at the end. Nice mouthfeel with a full body, velvety texture and lively carboantion. Nice tripel, though the aroma is mostly dominated by the bread and mustiness. markwise (1132), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA Jul 1, 2008 This is a great beer. 11.2 oz from Knightly Spirits. This beer has a great caramel and apple aroma with some yeast to it. Flavor is much the same with some fruit (strawberry?) to it. Very good, worthy of the Watou label. Finish lingers slightly dry, but overall very good. kiefdog (1567), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 22, 2008 33cl bottle from World of Beer (Largo, FL). Pours a dark amber golden with a thick and creamy white head that settles slowly gracefully lacing the glass. Aroma is malty sweetness with notes of honey, caramel, hay, grass, bread, yeast, and straw. Faint hints of sweet ripe fruit. Flavor is viscuous and syrupy with notes caramel, syrup, honey, toffee, and bready yeast. Complexities abound as the ale warms. Slightly nutty with a medium-body and slow, lingering sweet sugar plum finish. As good, if not better, than the St. Bernardus Tripel.
