Rarely will I give a beer a higher aroma rating than flavor, but this is one of those rare instances. Pours a deep but clear amber, little head. Flavor profile is interesting... unfortunately the alcohol is fairly evident. Doesn’t seem nearly as focused or integrated as the really good abbey triples, but possibly a bit more drinkable.

probably one of their best beers you can brew, always a hit with more knowledgable beer drinkers, it’s done well when I’ve seen it at parties in the small kegs you can buy. Its not very intense, pretty drinkable for an average person for a style that is normally not that easy to handle

Growler, Sept 2006. I will echo what others have said; its not really a tripple in my mind. However, I still found it enjoyable. A golden-amber color, darker than I suspected. Smell was strongly sweet, which was good IMO. Strongest flavors was of bubblegum, sugar, alcohol and a generally sweet. Not a standout for the genre, but still enjoyable

Again, thanks to Kinz for abandoning this at maniac’s. A color that’s good for the style, golden brown in color. Aroma’s a bit off from what I expect, too sweet with far too much in the way of caramel, it drowns out all the other complexity (if there is any). Taste is really off, this is not a belgian. Full of cotten candy and caramel. Way too sweet of an ending.

Thanks to Kinz for kindly donating this after the last Richmond Gathering. Slightly hazy amber color with a thin off-white head. Sweet caramel aroma. Flavor of sweet caramel with some hints of banana.
