| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 29, 2009 Corked bottle. Pours a deep, thick cheddar orange with a beautiful, white sudsy head of foam that leaves attic spider webs on the side of the glass. Aroma is a sweet honey and hops tempered by a modest bready note and a slight hint of alcohol. Flavor is a musty-sweet bread with bits of lemon and peach. Thin on the tongue and the flavor fades quickly. A nice tripel that lives up to its claim of a "nightcap" beer. Recommended, especially for a cold night by the fire. legion242 (1587), Richardson, Texas, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 27, 2009 What a huge letdown after paying $14.99. I have over the past few years become a huge fan of tripels and in fact, if I were no so lazy, I would probably change my favourite style to tripel. This one poured darker then I have seen in the style and then was just a complete weak mess. Great lacing but no spice or even a hint of heat. If I had paid $8.99, then maybe higher marks, but this was BS. ROGUE (700), Newark, Delaware, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 26, 2009 750ml bottle. Pours a murky golden color with a foamy white head that settles unevenly leaving good lacing. Smell has lots of fruity scents oranges, lemons, apples and belgian hops with traces of sweet spices.
Taste has a sweet malt profile balanced with some nice bitterness, spice, hint of alcohol, and yeast. Apples and citrus provide the fruity textures. Quite dry overall, with the fruity quality lasting more than other flavors. Over all, a pretty good tripel. gam (1116), brisbane, Australia

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 28, 2009 Sample at Esbjerg Beerfestival. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are yeast, fruits and malt. Slightly earthy. BeerChaser0078 (374), Melbourne, Australia
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 27, 2009 330ml Bottle. This gusher poured hazy golden orange with a fluffy white head that lasted a while. Aroma has notes of citrus, peach, spicy yeast and doughy malt. Flavour has noticeable alcohol but is otherwise very similar to the aroma except that it is a little bit spicier. Mouthfeel is fairly slick for a tripel and the carbonation isn’t over the top either. This is a decent beer nonetheless, maybe not one I’d drink all the time but one worth revisiting now and then.
