Nov 26, 2009 0,33 l bottle, bought at Biererei, Vienna
Opalescent hazy body with a minimal off-white head. Spicy orange peel, clove, nuts, caramel and strong hop with fruity raisins in the nose. Little bit watery texture with strong spicy character on a caramel malt base. Clove, oranges, resiny hop and raisins-plum flavor. Fruity aftertaste. Not absolutely a tripel or a BSA one, the beer is bertween the tripel and the barleyvine style.

Oct 12, 2009 2008 vintage, 33cl bottle: The aroma combines estery fruits with a light spiciness and faint citrussy hops. Hints of the typical belgian character, alcohol and chocolatey malts, dried plums and ripe apples. Deep red colour with a fairly stable, off-white head. Rather sweet, caramel malty flavour, again chocolate. The hops are very subdued, maybe a bit herbal. Mild roasty, bittersweet finish. A little burn from the alcohol. The mouhtfeel is very nice, creamy and medium to full bodied - drinks pretty easy though. The aroma is good, flavour is a little one-dimensionally sweet.. But overall a nice ale!

Feb 26, 2009 Bottle that ogivlado got at the brewpub and shared with me (thanks!). Vintage ’08 of course. Poured a red body with an off white head, strong carbonation, a bit fizzy. Sweet malty nose, fruity,some honey and hop. Caramel, light chocolate, orangey-biscuity... the maltiness here is lovely, sweet, earthy, balanced and tasty. A very nice beer indeed, but don’t come expecting an "Abbey Triple". This isn’t one, not by a long shot. It is, however a very pleasant, strong, Belgian style ale. More similar in taste to a traditional dubbel, better than most too. It’s so great to find these brewed in lands dominated by pale lagers.

Aug 24, 2008 Bottled: Small creamy head, red-brown color. Sweez aroma, candies, molasse and fruits. Flavor is very malty, quite roasty, caramel but few sweetness. Some ester, plums but not too intensive. Quite alcoholic finish, herbal, light to medium bitter hop notes. Light bitter aftertaste. Pleasant, complex brew.
