This is the 2000th batch of beer from Drakes, and it’s a good one. This malty beverage poured with a short beige head. It is subtly sweet with plum and raisin notes and a nice spice finish. WeeHeavySD (2034), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Sep 15, 2008 10th rating of this beer. On Tap @ stone. This doesn’t look like a tripel to me. Pours thick syrupy brown, nose is sweet taste is sweet but rudy and quite malty good brew golubj (1086), Redwood City, California, USA Jul 14, 2008 Draft at Toronado. Dark amber with almost no head. Aroma is very sweet malt and bubblegum / banana sweetness. The flavor is the same, some sweet caramel malt, bubblegum, sugar, and a little grassy yeast in the end. Kinda flavorful, but too sweet overall.
