Deep orange, healthy head. Sweet and fruity aroma, spicy too. Full body, malty base and fleshy fruits, made more aromatic with the alcohol. Long fruity and noble hop finish. Alcohol definitely present but quite subtle as 10% goes.
Straling (32), Amstenrade, Netherlands Oct 9, 2008 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. DrDavid (351), Johnson, Vermont, USA Oct 5, 2008 (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! Guinnessman (80), VACAVILLE, California, USA Oct 5, 2008 750 ml bottle. Dark color with strong caramel smell. Heavy malt flavor that finishes smooth. Went great with a slice of pesto brie cheese. afireinside96 (498), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 5, 2008 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. DrSamPHD (17), Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA Oct 1, 2008 Had it off a tap. My taste buds went crazy upon consuming this one. Orange color with a strong taste of alcohol. Not for me but i would recommend it to some of my friends. (Had it at Chimes Bar)
