Jun 7, 2006 Growler thanks to EDA. Clear dark copper color with a small off white head. Spicy, yeasty aroma with some banana, coriander and citrus. Flavor reminded me of a banana nut bread. Very yeasty and fruity with a touch of caramel.

Jun 6, 2006 Loved the way this smelled and the color was excellent. A little semi-sweet chocolate and a lot of raisin like sweetness. Spicy, but not a lot of alcohol present.

Jun 5, 2006 Growler: Courtesy of Styles. Aroma of plum, banana, light raisin, slight yeastiness, and hints of apple. Pours a dark reddish-brown with moderate transparency and a small off-white head. Lots of sweet dark fruits througout. Lots of grape with light plum and raisin. Yeastiness lingers behind all the fruitiness. Hints of chocolate of chocolate in the finish with only the slightest hint of bitterness. As it warms alcohol becomes slightly noticeable.

Jun 5, 2006 Updated: Aug 15, 2006On tap at the brewpub. The body was dark brown and ruby with a light tan head. The aroma was sweet caramel with pears. There was also some cinnamon spice. The taste was dank caramel with toffee. There was also oak and funky chocolate in the finish. There is a very noticeable alcohol burn. Had this from a growler at another tasting. I gave it the same scores. I tasted a little more fruit of pear in it this time around.

Jun 4, 2006 Growler shared by EyeDrinkAle @ Heavyweight open house, thanks Mike. I was pretty um... happy by the time Mike brought out this puppy But I made sure to carfully inspect this brew. So I was really surprised to see that this tripel pours dark... a shade of brown. WTF. The aroma was bready, rye, grainy, with a strong floral/perfumy aspect. A very nice mix. The taste was more concentrated toward a bready flavor. Not your daddy’s tripel but still damn good.

Jun 4, 2006 Huge thanks to Eyedrinkale for bringing a growler of this to the heavyweight open house - not your typical trippel, but this IS FFF we’re talking about here - kind of dark copper/brown - yeasty, typical belgian aroma, with a background of banana, lemon - orange, spices, bready/yeasty notes - combine the best of a trippel with some caramel/toffee qualities and you’ll have an idea of what this beer tastes like - interesting, but not great.
