Poured a hazy orange/brown with a stable foamy off-white head. Aroma was not too strong, but mainly of fruit and some Carmel. Flavor was pretty unremarkable. Some fruity notes with caramel and a hint of yeast. Not as smooth or as much yeast flavor as other Belgians. The alcohol is pretty well hidden however, so it is very drinkable. Overall pretty good, but there are more flavorful tripels out there.

Bottle 33cl. Pours an clear orange colour, very well carbonated, with a good size head, didn’t have the proper glass, but the same type so I imagine it won’t make much of a difference. Can definetly recognize caramel in the scent, but also vaguely some fruits are in the mix, though very hard to detect. Very strong flavour, with a bit too much alcohol to it. Nonetheless has a good flavour with yet again a dominance of caramel. Pretty good abbey tripel, but could do with less alcohol flavour to it.

(Bottle). Medium-sweet fruit aroma. Clear light copper color, huge off-white foamy head. Flavor is delicious fruits and herbs, medium carbonation, very light finish. This is a powerful beer, but with the alcohol well disguised; caution required!

750 ml bottle. Dark color with strong caramel smell. Heavy malt flavor that finishes smooth. Went great with a slice of pesto brie cheese.

From a bottle at the KSBF ’08. Hazy dark gold with a small head. Candy dominates but there is a nice maltiness and some light spice as well. Very good.
