Pours a golden color with off white head. Aromas of dough and caramel. Flavor is sweet and malty that finishes with hops. Alcohol comes through a bit much, gets worse as it warms. Medium body with prickly carbonation. There are much better tripels out there.

does not count  Aug 20, 2008 This was new to Chimes last time I went. Since I liked the 8, I figured I’d like the 10. The taste of this beer is sweeter than the Maredsous 8, and the alcohol is more pronounced. It left my mouth a little sticky feeling. Not a bad beer, but at $8 a pint, I’ll stick the Maredsous 8.

Aug 14, 2008 On tap at the Maredsous abbey in a clay mug.
Pours amber with a thick creamy beige head.
Aroma is malty sweet sugary, taste is again candi sugar, floral light malt and hops, notes of dark fruits such as cherries, prunes , raisins, after taste is spicy and malty.
I found the tap version to be a lot better than the bottled one.
An excellent triple, well balanced.

Aug 13, 2008 Smells, and tastes like alcohol, a big beer trapped in a small bottle. Decent triple.

Aug 9, 2008 33cl bottle from Vinmonopolet. It poured an amber golden colour with a medium white head that settles down fast in the glass and leaves a thin layer remaining on the top. The aroma smells of fruits, spices and alcohol. The flavour is bittersweet and tastes of spices, fruits and alcohol.
It has a short aftertaste.

Aug 7, 2008 Many bottles and taps, @ De Geuzen & Café Gollem. Amber-golden colour, nice thick creamy head. Aroma of fruits, alcohol, slightly sour. Taste is sharp, a bit sour, sweet, alcohol, spices and fruits. Creamy mouthfeel. A very robust triple. I must admit it’s not the most subtle example of the style (understatement of the year?) but still one of the best imo.
