Dikke Jan Tripel is a blond beer (dark gold) with a beautiful creamy white head. The aroma has a touch of cheese in the nose. Fruity. The taste is slightly bitter with a lasting slightly bitter aftertaste. A taste that lingers. The nose has a slightly sweet aroma, tart notes. However, the beer is nicely dry. Light hints of spices can also be noticed! Slightly hoppy. The beer is well balanced. Three types of hops and the same number of malt varieties make this beer a topper.

Pours unclear blonde, ok white head. Smell is mildly bitter. Taste is ... what ? The taste is slightly smoked... A warning on the label would have been nice... Goddamn... The smokyness is in balance with the rest of the beer, however, making me not gag within seconds, as other smokeds sometimes might do. As far as I am a reliable source in this field, the smokyness has been done well. The type of smokyness is the ’least bad’to me ( I am just NOT a fan of smoke ) giving it the fleshy character. The malts and thus the malty sweetness really balance the smoky touch. Its a weird combo. The most weird thing is, I actually do not hate this... Its clearly smoked, but I can drink it, wtf? All I can say is , change your label and warn people, PLUS, My god, this is probably the best smoked I ever had...

Bottle @ weekly tasting shared with Thompson and Bobson. Hazy yellow orange color, full sized white to off-white head that lasts for a long time. Smell and taste malts, a bit yeasty, a touch of fruitpeel and only a touch of bitter. Average to medium body and carbonation. One of so many but not unpleasant.
