I tried this beer on August 10, 2007 at The Esplanade Biermarket in Toronto. The beer was a cloudy brown in colour with a short lasting off-white head. The aroma was very yeasty with some spicy tinges in the background. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with a fair amount of carbonation while the flavour was full of yeast and wet bread. Another damn fine product from St. Bernardus!

bottle @ Allen Street Hardware, Buffalo. Darker than a lot of previous Tripels. Nice white head poured into Ommegang glass. Sweet almost toffee like finish. Pretty good

Malty, hoppy nose. Brown sugary/fruity hint. Sweet, savory, full-bodied. This brewery always seems to come through with consistently quaffable treats.

750 ml corked bottle, cellared for nearly two years. Big white airy head with thick laces. First pour is slight misty copper colored (sediments is still down there) Aroma is lemony and fruity- acidic , yeasty, with whiffs of alcohol. Taste does not live up to the aroma; some fruitiness, sugar, and a very light hopbitteernss. Medium body. Finish is not very impressive either ; light bitter and sourish.

A bottle aged nearly 4 years. Surprisingly sweet in the aroma and flavor. The aroma does have some alcohol as well. Flavor has fruit and sugar, and only a little alcohol. A great looking beer, well carbonated and a tall white head. Some sediment. Aged very well.

Saved the best for last theis weekend. Dark gold with a swiss-cheese looking white head. Expected spice and yeast, but more apple and fruits. Effervescent mouthfeel. Musty yeast and dry, fruity tartness blend well with the nutmeg-like sweetness. A very good beer.
