Alpaïde is een donkere tripel vol pit en traditie. Het is genoemd naar gravin Alpaïdis, grondlegster van het bierdorp Hoegaarden. Het bier heeft zijn smaak te danken enkel aan de variëteit donkere mouten en Poperingse hop. Deze gebrande mouten geven een koffie en chocolade parfum en een volmondige bittere lange afdronk. Het bier balanceert tussen een stout en een trappist.

Bardzo dobre i ciemne prawie czarne piwo ze spora piana ale szybko niestety opada, do czego belgowie nas nie przyzwyczaili. Zapach winno-octowy, troche jak wild ale. W smaku podobne do quadrupel lub grand cru. Ale dziwi mnie ze klasyfikowane jako tripel. Alkohol w rozmiarze 10% wogole nie dokucza. Goraco polecam. Minus za skromna i nieladna etykiete

Bottle @ Willems Grobbendonk, Belgium. Pours dark brown with a creamy head and lacings. Nose has lots of sweet malts. Honey, caramel, nuts, bubblegum, fruit and a bit of yeast. Full bodied. Sweet fruity flavor with dark fruit, plum, liquorice, bubblegum and a bit of yeast. Smooth. A bit of warmth. Quite good.

Bottle at Bier Circus, Bruxelles
The color is very dark, almost black; it has a compact beige head. There is aroma of dark malts, but it’s also fruity (apples). Good body strength, with round and smooth mouthfeel; strong flavor of dark caramel, some roasted malts and liquorice; it has just a medium-low residual sweetness; correct bitterness; in the final there is some alcohol perception.
Solid brew, well brewed, but too much liquorice for me.

33 cl bottle @ Gastropub Tuulensuu. Rated on 30.03.2011
Aroma is sweet and malty with hints of toffee. Flavour has sweet malt with caramel and candy sugar. A bit harsh finish. A Belgian strong with elements from bock beers, does not feel like a tripel.

Deep mahoney to black body. Creamy, lightly brown head. Aroma of caramalts and strong coffee/chocolate malts. Well balanced and complex aroma. Moderately bitter, moderately sweet flavour. Well balanced, nice complexity in the flavour as well. Nice and warming.
