Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

24 fl oz bottle, thanks to Carsten. Pours golden yellow to orange, clear. The white head is gone in an instant and was fizzy. Overspiced aroma or coriander. Flavour is sweet caramel, but completely drowned in coriander heavy notes. Soapy, coriander and somewhat rubber like. Not offensive but a poor imitation of a belgian triple.
Moderate white head poured from a large bottle. Pretty murky golden color with a nice floral yeasty aroma. Very smooth and silky on the palate. Sweet spice with just a hint of some hops and a trace carbonation. Alcohol there but not overpowering. Nice retention of flavor. Very nice tripel.
Bottle. Golden color with a mediium white head. Floral, spicy aroma. Some sweetness in the flavor. Very intense spice/fruit flavor as it warms.
