Apr 17, 2008 From a growler. Big, big, almost cloyingly sweet Tripel. Not a favorite in this style, but certainly is a party starter. Reasonable spice in this - just not enough to fight the sweetness. While very good, not "dry" enough like my favorite Tripels.

Mar 9, 2008 Has a slight bittering taste to this. It’s not bad, they have done a pretty good job with this. Small citrus flavoring along with a hint of caramel taste. Has a small head at first but quickly disappears.

Feb 10, 2008 Another good one from Dark Horse, even if the style isn’t my favorite. Pours golden, and looks complex just from the appearance. Very wheaty, full of citrus and spice, yeast and cloves. Alcohol is strong, but not too noticeable. Too sticky and sweet, finishes almost like a fruit beer or cider. Actually reminds me of Gumballhead, just with more going on.

Feb 1, 2008 Sampled blind at "Better Know a Style: Abbey Tripel" tasting. Clear golden color with thicker off-white head. Orange, yeasty aroma, spice, sweet, very much instyle. Orange flavor with dough, yeast, red fruit, cloyingly sweet and spice. Medium bodied and well carbonated. Too sweet.

Dec 2, 2007 Bottle. Pours a dark hazy amber. Small white head, dissipates and leaves little islands. Some lacing is evident. Aroma of fruit, and yeast. First sip is fuits, some spice, and some alcohol. The feeling on the mouth is almost full, but not quite. The finish is a mild fruit, more of a spice and a heat and flavor of alcohol. Overall a pretty decent trappist style.
