Nice light brown color with a foamy tan head, this has an awfully sweet aroma, strong malts with some fruitiness. It’s light, yet syrupy in the mouth. Sweet malt tastes, little else, execept for a dash of bitterness on the sticky finish. I prefer the dubbel and quadrupel.

Caramel and Butterscotch. Not a bad brew, but not a lot of complexity for the style.

Sweet malts and fruity aroma. Amber/orange color, large white head, good lace. Sweet, orange, malty, thick, not very hoppy. Long lasting orange finish.

Hazy orange color with a dispersive head and very lively carbonation. Aroma is very clean with sweet hops, raspberry, slightly tart with lots of complexities, this is a great aroma. Flavor has detectable alcohol with unripe cherry notes. Yeast, clove, spice and coriander are also detectable. Finishes with a slight burn of alcohol with a profound bready feeling. This was a totally unexpected delight. Thanks Indra!

Draught. Keg from 2005. Clear amber colour with a nice longlasting white head. Sweet malty aroma with hints of dry fruits and some earthy dusty hints. Sweet malty flavor with hints of caramel and dark fruits. Also hints of alcohol. Mlaty warming finish.

Bottle from Koningshoeven 4 pack. Poured a cloudy light brown with an average fizzy off-white head that diminished slowly with good lacing. Moderate toasted caramel malty, tart citrus and small alcohol aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of long duration.

Bottled. An amber coloured tripel with a reasonable white head. The aroma and taste are very sweet with notes of banana, bubblegum and candy sweets. The yeasty alcohol also comes through. Drinkable but really too sweet to be great.

Dark gold, like Gulden Draak. Aromas are bready yeast and sweet fruit with banana and spices. Flavours have the same doughy qualities with more sweet fruity malts. Great trappist mouthfeel. Good beer.
