750 mL bottle. Hazy copper with a small but short-lived white head. The aroma is very appealing: tart fruit, toffee, spice, alcohol and citrus. Flavour is more sweet than tart, with fruit and spice hiding most of the alcohol. Medium full with surprisingly little finish. Still a damn fine adult beverage.

A very good Belgian with some interesting flavor notes in the spicy malt. Amazingly smooth at the beginning, but seems to develop a little bitterness as it warms.

Trappist beer from Holland, this should be excellent. Slightly hazy orange with an especially strong aroma of fruits, slight alcohol and sweet candy; I really like this smell. The taste is complex, spicy, fruity, very good. This is a very nice tripel. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 10-15-2007 16:42:29

Re-rate. Sampled at the Koninsghoeven pub. This one is MUCH better fresh. Very smooth and refreshing. Didn’t have the hot alcohol bite like the first sample I tried. Spice is clearly coriander which I find very tasty. Yeast delivers some fruity flavors too(banana?). I could drink a lot of these.

bouteille de 11.2oz. bière blonde ambrée assez foncé et trouble, la mousse blanche est très diffuse et disparait rapidement, nez sucré, malté, épicé, assez invitant. bouche piquante, épicée, petit goût d’alcool, bonne bière de type tripel, mais moins bonne que la maredsous 10.

Bottle, 8 Years Old+. Quite remarkable given the circumstances - the bottle was old and dusty and not poured very well. Nevertheless, the beer showed superb sweet honey notes with hints of fig and a character of beechwood. A classic, and up in the top three Trappist tripels in my book. Judging by my over-the-average rating, it clearly ages well!

Bottle at beerpassie as Dominus Blond. Had it also already from draft. A good and refreshing tripple. Full bodied and a nice trapist

[oct 1 2003]What is it about these La Trappe beers?? They are nothing special, and this tripel? To creamy and sweet, and creamy! It´s not very bad, but isnt good, and I´m surprised about this wannabe Trappist (2,6) [jul 16 2006] To my surprise this turned up at Kaffibrennslan in downtown Reykjavik, with glassware also. Peaches and banana in the nose, some candysugar with a hint of hop bitterness. Small head, plums, sweets and a spicy finish. Nice triple
