| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 27, 2009 Bottle, 33 cl. Blonde beer with medium white head. Aroma of malts, also light sweet and some spices. Medium body, malty taste, light sweet, some spices included giving the beer a bit sharpness and also a light hoppy taste in it. Much better than the Kasteelbier Donker: more pallet and very well balanced. Nice tripel. ROGUE (700), Newark, Delaware, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Nov 24, 2009 750 ml bottle, 2005 sampled November 2009.
What a glorious surprise. Relatively dry for the style, almost champagne-like, the hops having aged wonderfully, just a hint of sourness. Much better than my memories of it fresh (I didn’t rate that time), I’m surprised at just how much this improved from its time in the cellar. Superb mouthfeel, perfectly carbonated and with the alcohol totally mellowed and integrated. Quinten (969), zaandam, Netherlands
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Nov 23, 2009 At an café in valkenburg limburg last summer forget to rate, bottle 330ml hazy golden, huge head, very overwalmig one with some hints of grain and citrus fruits, but most like an malt liquor.
