| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 16, 2009 33cl Bottle. Hazy golden color with a medium lacing off-white head. The aroma is fantastic lots of fruit,spices,oak,calvados, alcohol,malt, caramel. A pleasure. The taste is even better Sweet malty, orange, pear, caramel, a warming taste of calvados,oak,vanilla. So complex and yet so drinkable. Despite the warming alcohol presence the 10% is very well hidden (I honestly believe that I could have many bottles in one go). This is for me (by far) the best Tripel ever! I’m ordering more bottles and will try and taste it in different period as they age (if i can manage and don’t drink them alla at once).I was expecting it to be good but not that good ! Well done Struise ! pantanap (1375), Chicago, Illinois, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 6, 2009 In short: An intense beer with a strong white wine barrel character. Excellent sipper.
How: Bottles 12oz. Shared by Chris (Ebenezer’s owner) at Ebenezer’s
The look: Cloudy blonde body topped by a small white head
In long: Nose is fruity (white grapes), alcohol fumes and slightly floral. Sugary honeyed malts reminiscent of an oily crusty pie crust. The woody and fruity/vinous flavour was like licking the bottom of a white wine barrel. Alcohol is present. Body is a bit fluffy. I actually liked this one a lot but I have the feeling that I will lower my score if/when I drink full bottle by myself. This is what Allagash Victor/Victoria should have been. But unfortunately like it is often the case, the easy to purchase beer are the ones I don’t wanna purchase, just like most nudists are the people I don’t wanna see naked.
