Jan 6, 2005 This beer came courtesy of Tom Nickel who was kind enough to break this out of his personal cellar at Obriens last night. This beer pours a cloudy yellow color with a thin white soapy head which was practically non-existent. The aroma is coriander, ginger and other big time spices....sour and pepperminty all in one...it was truly different from any sort of Alesmith beer Ive come to expect. Medium bodied, peppery and dry finish, lemon hints, peach hints, coriander and citrus peel..sweet dry finish... absolutely phenomenal rare beer..it had faded somewhat with time, but still had many of its highly carbonated, spicey and fruity qualities.

Feb 6, 2004 Updated: Mar 1, 2004Bottle pours a hazy orangish/yellow with small but large bubbly white head. First thing noted would be a sweet butterscotch smell, that and a banana yeasty/bready aroma. Very interesting flavors... hard to put my finger on it. Spoze thats the "je ne sais quois" they are talking about. A bit sweet, citrusy, as well as tart at the start. Very smooth on the palate... Sweet candy finish, more candy flavor (butterscotch seems closest, perhaps some caramel), and some citrusy tones as well as cloves. Did I mention smooth? The 9.7% ABV is well hidden. A truly unique brew this is! Thanks goes out to herbjones for the trade!

Nov 12, 2003 Very yeasty and spicy nose hidden beneath a load of hops. Coriander is strong and assertive, fading to complex, raison and dark fruits, other various spices and alcohol lurking underneath. Long and rich, flavor lasts a long, long time. I could handle this more often than I can other tripels. Hoppy, orange finish is bitter and dry from the alcohol, but those long complex flavors linger a bit... Thanks to herbjones!

Nov 8, 2003 Fun stuffed with hops. Didn't realize it was a tripple style -- more of just a really strong hopped beer. Some yeast, bread, cookie flavors as well. Didn't also detect much alcohol. Some funky tangerine flavors too. Good.

Oct 11, 2003 Cloudy, and light orange in color. No head to speak of. Aroma of candi sugar and mostly orange peels and spice. I bake some, so I say alspice, nutmeg and mace. This is not like any trappist that I've had. More like a De Dolle, which I also really like! Finish mostly citrus. Excellent. Thanks Herbojones & JCalabres!
