| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 17, 2009 pours a brilliant gold with a small white head.
aromas are typical i suppose... bananas, clove, caramel, yeasty richness and an alcohol sting.
the flavor is pretty similar but with the addition of tooth rotting sweetness. there is a somewhat spicy dry finish but, for the most part it is a sugary tripel. which, in my book is a bad thing.
the body is full with residuals yet fairly creamy.
i’ll wait for the bottles and hide them for a couple of years. sweet tripels=yuck!6/3/4/4/13/3.0

Pours a caramel color with a nice white head. Aroma of yeasts, candi-sugars, cloves, malt and hops. Flavor is sweet, a little banana clove, touch of spices. Pretty good, but a little cloying. ajm (935), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 15, 2009 Tap at Pap. Not in love with this. Nose is highly alcoholic and flavor is the same. Color is brilliant as is the appearance, but I detect no subtleties in the flavor. Just heat and plant.
