| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 2, 2009 750ml tightly corked bottle that aged a good year or so in a dark closet before its opening. Fascinating aroma of pepper and Belgianity. Pours a murky golden orange color, with an impressive lively head. The sweet candi sugar sweetness and the peppercorns really balance out well. I remember being quite impressed the first time I had this beer at the bar, and I still hold it in high regard. The fact that Brewers Art beers arent all over the MD top ten is pretty ridiculous. Excellent balanced Tripel, with a great peppery yeasty finish. MiP (9157), Sønderborg, Denmark
