This was drunk outside on a beautiful summers day, and holding the glass up in the sun shone deep brown with fantastic cherry red flowing through. The aroma was quite smoky and appley, and the taste was hard to discern but quite strong and treacly. I have heard this compared to some of the darker tripels but far too thin to be well likened. A nice beer but too small and thin to be one to hanker after again. TrefwoordPunk (556), Leiden, Netherlands
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | May 18, 2009 Bottle 25 cl. Pours a dark brown with a medium off-white head with a sweet aroma, with hints of dark malts, prunes, rhum and alcohol. The taste is very sweet, with a thin mouthfeel and notes of brown sugar, caramel, raisins, white bread and cream. It’s a bit watered down, but still a pretty good beer.
