Dec 26, 2008 750ml bottle to wine glass, for lack of a chalice or tulip. Shared with brother in honor of the celebration for Christ apostrophe s birth. His description appears below mine, semi colon, read Harsebrau apostrophe s description. One thing I would note is that the missing descriptive taste is maybe not caramel. I would say perhaps instead it is a yeast based flavor.

Dec 26, 2008 Pours a cloudy, peach/apricot syrup color. Denser in the middle. Highly carbonated. Fizzy white head that left decent lacing on my glass. Sweet aroma - apple, icewine, pear, cream-cicke. Has a sour approach, mid-sweetness and fizzbomb effect. At the swallow something lingers...caramel? Hops are present as well. I like.

Dec 24, 2008 Pours an unfiltered dirty golden with a ton of suspended sediment. Head is white and lasts until the bottom of the glass. Aroma is yeast, caramel, and fruit. Flavor is yeast and fruit with a big dose of alcohol. Caramel and a bit of hop, as well. Smooth as silk. Delicious.

Dec 24, 2008 Light fruity, alcohol and spiced aroma unfolds from a murky yellow pour with a huge fluffy white head. Flavor is sweet bananas and hops with hints of yeast and grass. Had a dry, sharp finish. Alcohol was well hidden but I think tripels are my least favorite when it comes to belgian beer styles. Nice complexity, but the flavor just does not wow me.

Dec 24, 2008 Bottle at Sandbar, Manchester. Hazy light orange colour with large, lasting head that sticks to the glass all the way down. Aroma was spicy, vanilla, alcohol (too much), citrus and a light maltiness. I think mine was served too cold as I found this to be a disappointment on the tongue. Way too heavy an alcohol hit in the flavour masking whatever characteristics this well respected beer may have. Slightly sticky, cloying palate. Re-rate probably in order in the future.

Dec 16, 2008 Pours a cloudy yellow with a white head and serious white lacing. Banana, clove and a sweet finish. A bit of a bitter bite towards the end of the sip. Spicey, yeasty aroma reminds you you are drinking a belgian beer. Pretty remarkable this is the first time I have gotten to this one. Pretty well rounded and complex beer.
