3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled. Light orange/yellow with thinner white head. Floral and fruit aroma magnify sweetness in taste and nose. Floral hops add weird tinge and distinguished aroma. Tight and crisp as hell. A little champagne feel in both nose and flavor. Light bitter throughout but with lightly sweeter finish.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Cloudy pale yellow with good fizzy head and decent lace. Delicious combination of all typical trappist factors with floral hop, yeast presence, and warming alcohol to round it out.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Light fruity sweetness and spiciness. A bit hazey gold with excellent white, pillowy head. Moderately sweet and complexly spicey (nutmegy)...light alcohol finish.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
A good consistent dry blonde Trappist ale. Full of spices and an interesting bitter lime kick. Always enjoyable. Poured from 33cl bottle to my own Westmalle glass on NYE. I think these are better fresh rather than aged.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
( 330ml bottle bb 1/27/11) pours cloudy orange with huge lastin head and some yeast particles in the head. Nose of bread, Belgian yeast, white fruits. Taste of white pepper, alcohol, white grapes, and quite bready. Finishes very carbonated, peppery and creamy. A great tripel.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
From a 330ml bottle on 30/12/2009. Massive beer which should be enjoyed slowly. Typical strong Belgian ale aroma. The taste is predominantly fruity and spicy, with a honeyed sweetness developing as it warms. Quite syrupy, with a touch of bitterness and a dry finish - almost a little champagne-like. A rewarding drop, but definitely a winter warmer rather than something to quench one’s thirst on a hot day.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours slightly hazy gold with a huge foamy white head. Aroma- yeast, wheat, clove, Belgian sugar, lemony citrus. Taste is sweet caramel and light citrus with alcohol warming the nose. Very rich carbonation with a slightly bitter finish
4.7 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Very delicious beer. Nice creamy head. Fruit, yeasty notes. Nice carbonation level tries to balance the beer but might be just a bit much. Otherwise everything comes together nicely with this beer.
