Complex, full bodied, warming, malty and fruity with additional nutty and caramel flavours. A beer to sip and savour. This is our take on the strong beers pioneered by the Belgian Trappist monastery-breweries. Tripels are strong, complex beers and are traditionally golden in colour. We decided to make ours red and the malts used to achieve this add even more complexity to the flavours on the palate.

330ml bottle shared between two of us on an Irish beer tasting night at my place on 11th Nov 2016. Amber pour, with a slight red hue to it’s colour, off-white topping. Maltiness alongside red berries in the nose, taste semi-sweet and similar flavours to the aromas: malty molasses and red berries. I liked it.

Bottle. Reddish amber coloured beer with a strong head. The aroma is lightly spiced with a warming feel. The flavour is lightly roasted but heavily malty and spiced. Overall a nice strong Belgian style of beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bright clear amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy, smooth and has decent carbonation. Fluffy malts, sweetish with mild fluffy malt cream. Typical tripel spice. Banana esters, mildly bitter. Touch of dried friuts. Tangy semi dry finish brings an unexpected sharp peach. Pretty drinkable.
