| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 26, 2007 750ml bottle. Dark reddish body with a beige head. Very sweet aroma with notes of yeast and alcohol. Flavor is sweet malt, candy sugar and alcohol, maybe a hint of dry fruit. Just a bit one dimensional sweet for my taste.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 5, 2007 Good looking beer, pouring a clear chestnut body with a dense pale beige head. Nice lacing. This has a faint aroma, toasted wheat bread with some cherries and brown spices. The flavor is toasted malts with stone fruits and a mild earthy bitterness. Odd for a tripel, but not bad.
Note: The label on my bottle lists this as an 8% ABV rather than the posted nine percent. No big deal, except that I could probably use that extra 1% since I plan on watching the Republican Presidential debate in about an hour.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 20, 2007 Brown coloured beer with almost no carbonation and a small off-white head.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 5, 2007 Bottle; Burnt caramel in color, moderate frothy light beige head, mild carbonation, spotty lacing.   Pale bready aroma, slight
spices, a little bit of warm cola.   Plastic like malt start, muted ginger and licorice, slightly bready, cola, and root beer.  
Triple Brown ey?   Feels flat on the tongue.   Flavor drops off quickly.   Finishes with a dirty sweet bready flavor, with the
aformentioned dulled spices.   Lingering metallic icicle flavor, like the ones hanging off the gutter in winter.   Not as
interesting as I thought this was going to be.   My advice... skip it if you have other choices.
