Aroma of malt, dried fruits, oak, sugary notes, vinous, caramel, toffee, tart overripe apples, some Brett funk. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet. Interesting clash of flavours, but a bit too much malt and toffee for my taste.

24-12-18 // bottle shared. Brewed 21-08-13. Murkish orange. No head. Port wine sweetish nose. Acidic Tripel. Belgian style. Sweetish malt body. With a mild sourness. Definitely a port wine barrel touch. Acutally quite light bodied for 11% btu then a mild boozy finish. Lovely.

Almost clear amber beer,, thin off white head. Pleasant aroma of red pervades the immediate surroundings. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, mildly caramel. Little ripe citrus into mellow red wine. Touch of mild orange peel on the light finish gives a sangria vibe..A typically tripel spicy vibe runs throughout. Nice job. Still a tripel but off the beaten track and tasty.

Bottle, thanks SirLimpsalot. A bit hazy dark golden with a small head. Sweet with dried fruit, apricot, light perfume and some malt. The body was kind of full and the finish with warming alcohol.

0,33 flaske (batch 1016), hjemme på nyttårsaften: lett uklar oransjegylden med kort bruseskum. Det musserende førsteinntrykket passer godt på en kveld som dette, og i likhet med sjampis taper det seg fort. Vinøs aroma og smak - sviskeplommer, rosiner, kandis, fiken, markjordbær og mango. Fin munnfylde men overraskende slank for et høyoktanøl (får allikevel 4 for den vinøse følelsen). Mild bitterhet, men en litt sur ettersmak gjør at den er lite minneverdig, bortsett fra anledningen. Rakettene er på full fart opp så det er nok på tide å finne frem noe bedre, kanskje en Thomas Hardy 2006, for å holde meg innen stilen.

Florals and too much booze. Big gimmick here for too much money like iphone updates. Hazy orange pour. Barrel. Overhyped. Bottle.
