Bottle pours a hazy burnt orange amber with a small head for a Tripel and lace sheets. The aroma is bread like yeasty, slightly fruity, and a touch of Belgian spice notes. The flavor is banana sweetness, bread like yeast, a hint of vanilla, pretty warming and peppery - but not bad for a 10% ABV and just very smooth! The body is rich with a cleansing palate sensation. This beer is a sensation. I like it very well.

Jan 1, 2009 Tap at Lucky Baldwins. This tastes Like a Rochefort 9. Yes I said nine on purpose. Thick, raisiny, yeasty, syrupy, sweet, balanced, superb. That this is a tripel is flooring. Wow.

Dec 31, 2008 750-milliliter bottle. Pours a cloudy orange-amber with a generous, fluffy head. Aroma has that rotten garbage sweet smell that seems to be common of tripels and dubbels. Flavor is good with dark fruits and apricot and is only slightly bready. Alcohol burn is modest, on par with its 10% ABV. Good overall, but not a world-class performance in my opinion.

Dec 26, 2008 750 ml bottle. Clear orange colour, big off-white head. Fruity aroma, with apples, citrus and a whiff of alcohol. Caramel malts, plenty of fruits, a little yeast and a nicely warming, dry hoppy finish. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied and smooth.
