Aug 9, 2009 (750ml bottle thanks to ballewblake, bottled June 08) Pours a dark yellow with good head and coats the glass nicely. Nose is oak, sour cherry, alcohol. Taste is oaky, slight bourbon on the finish, nice carbonation, and well balanced hops. Spicy/biscuit yeast profile and loving how it finishes. The regular tripel from these guys is better in my opinion though.

Aug 7, 2009 Bottle pours semi-cloudy amber color with white head. Aroma is yeast, butter, vanilla, and alcohol. Has a buttery, creamy mouthfeel. Flavaor is yeast, butter, alcohol, some vanilla, and finishes semi-dry. This is a good beer. Just not great due to the diacetyl. Bottled March 2009.

Aug 5, 2009 Notes from Seattle International Beer Festival. Smells like bananas. Tastes like bananas. Unfortunately I drink enough Belgians to know be much more specific than that. Tastes yeasty, but thankfully no metal. Poured cloudy orange.

Aug 3, 2009 Picked up this rather expensive brew from Greens on Ponce De Leon. 25.4 oz. bottle. Haze brown/yellow/orange color. Nice fluffy head that sticks around; damn good looking tripel if you ask me. Fruity/sweet aroma. Not extremely pungent. I am gonna let this warm up a wee bit...Fruit and yeast become more and more noticeable as the beer warms up. Not so much on the wood I must . Slight banana aroma as well. Man that wood flavor is immediately noticeable. Very nice subtle wood at first then some yeast/banana/fruit flavor. As the beer warms the wood is still very slight in terms of aroma, but aroma is still nice overall. This beer is awesome. Really love the wood mixed with the fruit. Very smooth. Just an amazing tripel if you ask me. One of my favorites, if not my favorite. I believe this is due to the wood aging. Nice ABV too!

Jul 25, 2009 courtesy of Allen - clear golden-blond colour with an elusive white foam; very estery and fruity aroma with notes of alcohol and wood; full-bodied and quite sweet, residual sugars in a long fruity and spicy finish with robust warming alcohol notes - very good beer

Jul 11, 2009 Reviewed (Draft at Brouwer’s, Seattle, TX):
Pours a somewhat cloudy body, very pale yellow. Fluffy white head creamy and lasting. Sweet sour aroma, light. Sour taste, pretty sweet. Not rotten, or acidic-ly sour. Relatively smooth. Refreshing. Fruity tasting. A little dry on the aftertaste. Tasty.
