Deep and quite strong deep copper and bronze coloured body with a thinnish, fast-dying tan head and a glow of manuka honey coloured bronze. Aroma of pungent honey, strong wheat, yeast, coriander seed, alcohol warmth, funk and a bit more deep assertive malts. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich honey and wheat flavour at first that gives way immediately to pungent grain and spices with a little sweetness around from the curacao, but immediately bitter and harsh from the yeast and spices, whcih show strongly throughout. Aftertaste is bitter as well with a lot of grain, some wheat/yeast notes, a big deal of alcohol throughout and a kick from the sweetness, but not enough to pass through the malts. Overall, a decent tripel at best, with perhaps too strong of a flavour, from the malts, along with the alcohol warmth and the spices to make this a robust, and complex/layered beer that goes down even slightly easily - this is the exact opposite. Granted, I didn't age it my typical ~1 or 2 years for the style, but this shouldn't have to be aged and should show better, or simply shouldn't be bought, especially at high price points. I sampled this 50 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Columbus Circle), New York on 11-June-2017 for US$10,99 sampled at home in Washington on 23-October-2017.
