Jan 13, 2009 [Bottle] Pours a murky brownish gold with a bunch of yeasty floaties and a huge, dense, fluffy whitish head. Aroma is sweet with candi sugar, some alcohol, fruitiness, brie cheese, lemon, and other citrus. Flavor is very sweet and a bit tart. Lots of citrus, some alcohol, especially on the finish, apple. Rich, full, almost like a carbonated syrup mouthfeel. A big, actually caramelly finish that is remarkably bitter and dry for a tripel.

Jan 13, 2009 Murky and flakey golden with huge rocky pale head. Nose is grainy malts, liquorice spiciness, loads of yeast, alcohol and faint fruitiness. Spritzy sourish flavor with strong herbs, liquorice and alcohol, mild berries and dried fruitiness. Sugary herbal finish. Medium to full bodied, strong but smooth carbonation. No BBE found, but feels quite old and poorly kept. This way it was pretty messy, but still good.

Dec 26, 2008 Bottle. Cheesy and banana-y aroma. Rubber cement. The 10% is quite noticeable. Plenty sweet. Simple and mostly inoffensive. Pours a cloudy,, dark orange with plenty of floaties. Flavor has lots of alcohol. The yeast phenols lean toward the rubbery and band aid side. A hint of sweeter fruit. Not much in the way of hops. The candi sugar rears its head upon warming. Some honey and gingerbread? Medium to full bodied. Mouth filling carbonation. Slightly chalky on the tongue with a rather hot, alcoholic finish. Meh...

Dec 13, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy dark yellow with floating particles and a white head. Aged malt, dust and light lemon/herbs in the nose. Flavor was sweet with notes of light caramel, lemon, grass, hay, fruity yeast character, mineral-like water and resinous bitterness. Full and round body with moderate carbonation.

Dec 9, 2008 Bottle. Poured a cloudy orange color with a huge sparse white head that quickly faded and left quite a bit of lacing. Aroma was orange and grapefruit, with something else that I can’t place. The flavor was slightly underwhelming. Sugar, grass and pepper with a tingly finish. Full bodied, with good carbonation and a clean mouthfeel. Overall I think this is a good beer, but not my favorite tripel
