’05 vintage as part of the blind "Better Know a Style: Abbey Tripel" tasting. Clear light amber color with small off-white head. Aged alc aroma with champagne like alc as well, white wine, green grape, slight spice. Medium to light body and burn. Like drinking a white wine/champagne.

Sep 2, 2008 Pours hazy straw with a sustained white head. Vanilla, charred wood, alcohol aroma and flavor. A bourbon/whiskey burn in the after taste. Warming and good.

Aug 26, 2008 Hazy gold pour, very bright. White head and spotty lace. WHisky aroma. Sticky palate. Big oak, bourbon, and leather. Very sweet but the bourbon seems to balance that out

Aug 24, 2008 Pours a hazy golden yellow with a towering white head. Oaky, whiskey aroma, but soft with a sweetness suggesting honey. Sweet malty palate with dominant vanilla oaky tones, honey, spices, and a leathery woodiness in the finish. Absolutely delicious!

Aug 23, 2008 On tap at Churchill’s Pub in San Marcos, CA. Thick golden with large white head. Aroma full of esters and alcohol. Taste with too hot, Sort of sticky on the tongue. But had a good malty sweetness with vanilla and a very, very slight bourbon aged flavor. I thought the age was done very well, very subtly. Overall, too hot made it not as enjoyable as I would’ve wished.

Aug 21, 2008 Golden body with minimal head, aroma of chardonnay and grapes with funky earth/wood hints. Didn’t catch any bourbon in the nose, but the oaks is definitely there. Flavor is all oak, honey and maltiness. Pretty smooth but still looking for the bourbon. This beer tasted a bit young, a little age would do it well.
