Styles (1654), Taylor, Michigan, USA May 23, 2008 Tap: 5-30-06. Dark ruby-mahogany, decent off-white head. Aroma is full of dark fruit, residuel sugar and faint smoky malt. Flavor tons of raisin, fig, prune. Huge residuel sweetness through the middle. Faint banana near finish. Big body, creamy-smooth mouthfeel. Very nice....quad?
drewbeerme (1895), Chicago, Illinois, USA Feb 6, 2007 from memory, on tap at 3F summer of 06, poured surprisingly dark with small white head. nose of dark fruit and belgian candy sugar. flavor had more dark fruits, plums, raisins, some spices, chocolate, and a alcohol finish. this didn’t come off very tripel like which was obviously the point from "it’s not normal" but whatever, i wasn’t that into this but would be willing to give it another try. beerbuzzmontreal (2769), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Jan 18, 2007 Pours a clear dark amber color with a thin offwhite head. Good and surprising aroma of fruits, spices and chocolate. The body is light with a powdery texture and moderate carbonation. Nicely done. swoopjones (1234), Buffalo, New York, USA Jan 16, 2007 Growler courtesy of Pickles @ Three Floyds Pub. #100. Much darker than previous tripels I’ve encountered. A lot going on. Enjoyed with the Czar & CB. Deep reddish brown in color with sweet raisin plumy flavor. Very well done. OhioDad (2492), Hilliard, Ohio, USA Nov 12, 2006 12oz bottle hand bottle traded by Duane! - Thanks! Pours dark brownish ruby with a short tan head that fades fast but leaves a little lacing. Nice full aroma of yeast, raisins, plums, and other dark fruits blended with caramel malts and some candi sugar. Pleasant smooth flavor of raisin, caramel, some yeast, pears, plums, and even some bannana. Palate is sticky sweet yet smooth and easy to drink. No sign of the alcohol except the warmth at the dry finish. Beautiful tripel and another fine beer from this brewer..
