| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 9, 2003 Amber ale with orange highlights, good lace on this one. Cigar box aromas mingle with slight butterscotch and bubblegum, a little spicey, some earthiness. Flavor is pleasant and tangy with slight acidity and a typical marsmallow carbonique' character typical of the style. Good triple. ante (2948), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 7, 2003 (Bottle) Cloudy and amber colored with a huge longlasting head. Aroma of toffee, some fruits and pepper. Taste is smooth and creamy. Burnt sugar, toffee, alcohol with some bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet with some citrus and warming alcohol. A really nice brew.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 3, 2003 Updated: Jul 6, 2003Bottle. Slightly darker in colour than most tripel-style beers, more a light amber colour. The taste is the other surprise. Not dry and hoppy like most abbey tripels but leaning toward the sweet. My tip for enjoying this beer: After pouring the beer slowly into the glass, add some of the yeast deposit to the beer. Your tastebuds will thank you. Frank (1066), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 1, 2003 Served in large almost pilsner-style glass--highly unusual but it's what the brewer specifies. Clear bronze with a foamy head and chunky lace. Bready aroma is slightly bitter. Slightly thinner on the palate than I like to see in a tripel and maybe a hair too much carbonation. A grassy, earthy bitterness mostly dominates with a slight sweet edge. quick finish with very slight lingering bitterness. Not especially impressive. RichardGretton (3149), Leicestershire, England
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 5, 2003 Two tone brown and light brown beer with a frothy head, great appearance. Intense alcoholic and malt aroma, with a deeply alcoholic and bitter flavour. A great and intensly complex beer. Linc (736), Sydney, Australia
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 5, 2003 Clear pale amber, hint of sweetness, though balanced well by nice acid levels. Malty with hints of sweet white wine, slightly citric. Ungstrup (15260), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 9, 2003 A slightly unclear amber beer with a fine head. The aroma is slightly fruity and sweet. The flavor is a nice sweet, malty, slightly bitter, and slightly wheaty flavor. It has a nice palate. rauchbier (3002), Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, England
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 24, 2003 Bottle conditioned. Gold-bronze with a fluffy white head and good condition. Sweet aromas of hazelnut, malt and licorice. More licorice in the mouth with caramel and a corky note (not a corked bottle though). Finish was short, slightly dry and bitter. One of the few tripels I would want to drink more often.
