Other than that its nicely floral. Nice dryness in the finish. Beets. saxo (3679), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 30, 2009 Golden Rose Batch 14 bottle shared by ajm. Ages like a champ. Pours a dark amber color, like a barleywine, with a trim beige head. Awesome sediment. Brimming with brown sugar. The yeast is so subdued I can’t believe this is a tripel. Tastes like the best caramel apple you’ve ever had. Dope. inkubus27 (255), Highland, Indiana, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 16/20 | May 28, 2009 Pours a nice slightly hazy straw color with a thin head. Aroma is of sweet malt. Flavor starts out sweet with some fruitiness, but then the peppery flavor kicks in and lingers around for quite a while. This is a bit too peppery for me, but not bad overall.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 25, 2009 Batch # 40. Pours an orange amber color with a forthy long lasting off-white head. Aroma is a bit floral, but there’s some nice Belgian action going on there as well. Flavor is pretty robust, some floral notes, some spiciness, a good yeast kick, but the mouthfeel is a little watery for some reason. And the finish is just a touch on the boozey side. Interesting tripel though. jlf278 (255), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 7/20 | May 21, 2009 Yellow straw body with small gently fading head. Lots of sediment. Smells okay with some citrus and sugar plus a little alcy. Taste is mostly alcohol though with some white sugar and a hint of apple and maybe unripe plum. Ddin’t really care for this one. ajm (965), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 19, 2009 Bottle from Sam at the Stuffed Sandwich - Batch 14 opened in 2009. Poured not golden, but like an actual rose color - like Lucky 13. Nose is very mellow - no trace of yeast or wheat. Very sweet malt profile, this is the overriding favor. Also notes of slight wood and brown apple flesh. The sediment was like the powdery dark flakes that brake mechanics know well. Adam77 (409), Eastampton, New Jersey, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 30, 2009 Poured yellow with a white head. Aroma of fruit and candy. Candy and fruit throughout.
