| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 16, 2005 Pours a ruddy, thick, dark orange with a thin creamy pinkish head. Very earthy, as in dirt, in the aroma, with some yeast. Whoa. Not like any Tripel I’ve had. Woody and tart in flavor with some nuttiness. Musky. It has an unatural spiciness. Reminds me of some homebrew I made once with one of the lesser used British yeasts. Strange. Lou18 (1353), West Paterson, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jul 15, 2005 12 oz bottle. This poured red/gold with a huge fluffy whip cream head. Yeast is the nose. Lots of alcohol and port wine taste. The end is sour and unpleasant. Waited to taste this one, and, was not great. gearbike (420), West Bloomfield, Michigan, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 15, 2005 Very drinkable for the alcohol %. A little sweet and not as hoppy as a typical Tripel. Nice on a hot summer day. OlivierMTL (711), Montréal, Quebec, Canada

La mousse est de couleur blanche concassée, mi-abondante, partiellement diminuante et adhère en parti à la paroi du verre. Droit de la bouteille, les arômes sont dominés par le grain et extrêmement reminiscente de celle d’une Bock pour leurs caractéristiques de malt sorti tout droit de la grange. Toujours à basse température, mais une fois versé, le grain est toujours présent, et est maintenant largement dominé par des parfums de réglisse rouge, de bois, de curaçao, d’épices et de sucre candi; s’intensifiant graduellement jusqu’à en devenir dominant. Flaveurs de malt d’influence allemande, de miel, de beurre et non le moindre, de sucre candi. Corps d’épaisseur allant de moyenne à pleine, intense réchauffement (voir même brûlement) amené par l’alcool, carbonatation fine et active imitant brillement celle de ces consœurs belges.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 12, 2005 From an enormous magnum, shared among several friends...
Hazed, golden hue, big, rocky, off-white head
Nose is an acme of sweetness, with touches of straw and spice, fruit-laden, apricot and peach, candy sugar aplenty....beautifully uplifting, with a nice, citric kick.
Taste: Great hoppy bite at the front, bright, ebullient, and ever-so tasty. Pepper notes run aside the fruit. Medium bodied, tingly and tart, with a delicious yeasty character, and an everlasting zest.
Impossible to not love, this is a fine one to luxuriate with...give that a try next time you need it most!
