More and more I am finding myself rating beers in but two ways.
Good
Bad
If it’s good I really like it
If it’s bad it’s toilet water.
To me black tulip is in the good category.
It’s not the best triple I’ve had, not close but It’s really tasty. It has a nice sweet semi malty slightly hoppy taste--that kind of covers it doesn’t it?
Not a particularly big head especially for a triple but overall I really like it.

Aug 29, 2008 22 oz. bottle: pours golden and has a good head and lacing, aroma of Belgian yeast, grain and candi suigar and maybe some honey, very sweet flavor is balanced by a fair malt taste and a moderate bitterness, nice Belgian flavors all around, a good beer but rather pricey.

Aug 24, 2008 Sample from bottle at Dayton Ale Fest. Dark golden nice white head. Aroma is mostly yeast, spices, and some floral hops. Flavor is malty, sweet, and yeast with a nice hop balance. A pretty good tripel, better than others I’ve tried.

Aug 20, 2008 Bottle. I think this beer is extremely underrated. Clear copperish golden pour with a beatiful pillowy white head and gorgeous lacing. Aroma came through with some unexpected floral hops, caramel malt, yeast, and banana notes. Flavor was overall sweet but slightly set off by a little bitterness. Palate is silky smooth, mild carbonation, and very drinkable. It blows my mind that this receives a 3.33 and a 72 percentile overall. It deserves better especially when comparing it to Unibroue La Fin Du Monde.

Aug 19, 2008 Sampled from bottle: Beer pours a clear amber colour with a fairly large off white head. Aroma is sweet, carmel, toffee, bannana and oranges. Mouthfeel is full, well carbonated. Taste is a tad on the sweet side, takes no time in hiding the evident alcohol taste.

Aug 13, 2008 Golden, deep at the center, creamy white head. Rich malty, fruit and belgian yeast with some grassy hop character. Creamy full palate.
