Aug 3, 2003 On tap at the brewery.
Rich head with a piney,hoppy aroma,and a trace of live yeast. Rich malt and orange-fruit flavor. Smooth, with a clear hit of alcohol and some yeast. Tangy hops spread to become clearer at the end, where the alcohol makes itself felt, followed by a quite bitter finish and strong aftertaste.

Jul 27, 2003 I don't know if I like it or not. It has a lot of things in it that's difficult to describe. Some tart sour, some wood.

Jul 17, 2003 Clear yellow-amber color, thick foam head that stays for a while. Smells fruity and spicey. In both the smell and taste there is some honey. Not to heavy alcohol taste.

Jul 15, 2003 (Fairly aged sample) Colour: clear light-amber. Thick creamy head, quite stable. Nose: straw, spicey, coriander, a bit fruity. Some caramel, figs. Cloying sweet taste, syrupy, toffee. Vague spicey notes. Some burnt malts as well. Liqueurish finish. Cloying mouthfeel, quite some alcohol. Again some fruitiness at the very end. Last quarter of the contents resembles yeast starter. Warming, it gets frankly undrinkable. Maybe I'm biased, but I recall 't Hamerken tripel (jet black) as superior to this 'Brugse' descendant. This, anyway, is too sweet for a real tripel, just not dry enough. If you're in for sweet strong beers, this is it.
