Strong alcohol, but ok it is a triple. A tasty beer with a fruity taste, a delicious foam as no other. Thick delicious foam that lies like a rug on the beer.

Must say I am a little disappointed in this Trappist beer. It had a mild aroma, nothing like a Delirium. Has the traditional Trappist appearance in its golden look, small white head. Taste ok at best, but nothing that blows your socks off. It has a bit of a bitter after taste. Drinkability is ok, but the price is to high for a beer I just kind of like,

Shocked I had never rated this before. I had this on tap in Belgium. Pours hazy dark yellow with a white head. Aroma of spice and Belgian yeast. Good flavor, good Tripel.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Scopey (1181) - Croydon, Surrey, ENGLAND - FEB 18, 2011
33cl bottle at the Evening Star, Brighton. Pours a hazy straw yellow colour with a creamy white head. The nose is pear drops, hay, grass, daisies, honey and quite spicy. The taste is initially of honey/mead, which leads to hay, varnish, decent alcohol warmth, orange, sweet tangerine, lemon sherbet, soap and starch with a bitter-spicy finish. A top-notch Tripel.

33cl Bottle with very little head which disappeared instantly leaving little lacing. The color was a cloudy light or pale amber. The aroma was truly the best part of the experience, wafting pleasantly from the glass, easily enjoyed a full foot from the glass. Notes of fruit, mild banana and alcohol, maybe whiskey. There was little carbonation, a bit too flat on the palate so the flavor was a little unbalanced. Floral, light hops and yeasty bread. It concealed the high alcohol content nicely with a mild bitter finish. I was expecting to enjoy this beer more as the other Trappist beers I have tried thoroughly impressed me, even with their massive reputations, but it is without doubt a well made and high quality beer.
