Bottle. Nice big head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma is fruit, yeast and malt. Taste is nice and complex with fruit and spices.

Drunk a 33cl bottle in De Hems in London. Looks good in the glass, very nice golden hew, had an ok head. The taste is too much like Leffe Blonde to be destinctive - maybe a slight hint of orange. It was OK, but disappointing.

Darker colour than other tripels, only a little head. Aroma is sweet, a little yeasty and alcoholic with some flowers. The flavor is much alike, but there are also quite much notes from wood or barrels, maybe cork. Medium body. Nice beer, but not very unusual.

(30 cl bottle from a friend from Holand) Sweet fruity, strong alcohol, Belgian ale yeast scent. Shady brown color, fluffy white head. Sweet fruity alcohol taste. Nice smooth mouthfeel. Low bitterness.

Pours hazy bronze golden with a thin, mostly maintained beige head. Aroma is a mix of fruity esters: pineapples, bubble gum, and phenols: apples, and candied fruits. Taste is lightly sweet with most of the flavors present in the aroma. Some of the phenols are overpowered by alcoholic esters. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with a Belgian alcoholic light stickiness and lush carbonation. Nice and probably my favorite of the La Trappe lineup.

Draught, vintage 05. Reddish orange with nice off white head. Sweetish and malty in aroma with hints nectarine, figs, nuts and a little too much alcohol. Flavour is sweet with caramel, honey, alcohol and a good hoppy bitterness.

Take the dubbel and apply the turbo chargers. Big sweet malts across the bouquet and palate. Nose is very complete and shows good penetration. Very smooth to drink and underpinned with an appropriate level of fizz that keeps the flavours moving along. This is a polished effort that shows a lot of appeal. (e3.30 @ Café Arendnest)

Pours a murky brownish orange color with a bubbly off white head that fades. Aroma is sweet fruityness: bananas, dates, yeasty and a touch of barnyard. Creamy mouthfeel, with a slight fruityness of greengrapes, bananas, touch of maple sweetness and a light crisp dry finish. A fruity date flavor is left on the palate. Nice flavors, but nothing standout.
