Mysterious, alluring and seductive, yet tantalizingly elusive; these are the storied characteristics of the Black Tulip.

Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to chalice.
Appearance: golden to bronzed orange color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet apples, some pears, crushed cloves, subtle banana-like esters, subtle floral hoppy tones, light candied dark fruits
Flavor: seems to combine the prior noted flavors to a semi-sweet to lightly spiced character; finishes like candied apples with some cloves and floral hop qualities
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning towards the sipping side; some spicy harshness on the tongue but nothing overly bearing
Overall: to be honest, I don't see this as a true Belgian Tripel, there's something good here because what I had seemed to fit and blend well, maybe add a real Belgian yeast to this and possibly rework the recipe a bit and this could end up being a real Belgian styled gem.

Plenty of booze and a little floral vibe like acid rock album covers. A little oakiness puts this one off. Bottle.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with very small frothy white head, faint earthy aroma, low carbonation, mildly bitter earthy taste with floral hops background, thin body, long finish. Very flavorful, enjoyable.

Sample at SBWF 2017. Golden with a small white head. Aroma and taste of fruit esters, light spices and some malt. Some warming alcohol in the finish. An ok one.

Bottle. Smells exactly like lemon iced tea to me.... weird. Hazy light amber with a small white head. Belgian yeast, sweet lemony honey malt flavor. Medium full body, soft carbonation.
