Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a mild bitterness. Body is medium and lightly creamy. Good! Finesse is very fine Tripel and this oaked mutation adds an interesting dimension to the beer.

Bottle drunk in the basement cinema. Golden color with light haze, huge head even with tilted pouring. Very fragrant nose with caramel biscuit, vanilla, pina colada craziness. Wow that's something! The flavor is a big melange of complex goodness from rummy raisin/plum to toffee, with dry bitterness at the tail end to counteract that sweetness. Excellent chewy dessert treat.
