750 ml bottle - 2001 vintage; thanks after4ever; dark gold, clear and plenty of carbonation; musky, oaky aromas with lemons, vanialla, caramel and toffee; syrupy sweet and almost sticky in texture; slightly oxidized, but I think this was my fav of the 3 Fish BA beers w/ lots of age on them; now a mix of triple and barleywine maybe and quite delightful to drink; lots of sticky fruit and oaky sweetness; yum!!

This 2003 vintage is courtesy of a one particular amazing ratebeer-anista, matta. Pours murky deep copper with gold edges and micro thin white head. The aroma has rich sweet fruit notes like plums, dates and some raisins to go along with earthiness and wood. The taste is similar with rich deep smooth dark fruitiness then moving into soft earthy and silky smooth slivers of barrel. Wow, smooth and delicious.

Bottle. [thank you, after4ever]
[Bottle #4 in the Kolding Blindtasting, 20th June 2009]
[vintage 2001]
Pours a tad hazy, deep orange. A small, creamy, white head on top. Aroma is really impressive. Lots of yeasty notes, apples, pineapple, oak, biscuity malts, cardemum. Medium carbonation, good creamy mouthfeel. Flavour maintains the notes of cardemum, adds some rosemary. Oak, yeast, viniousness, sweet maltiness. A touch of oaky tartness in the end, but overall, a very elegant tripel.
