Cette bière exceptionnelle, fermentée grâce à trois levures différentes, a séjourné six mois en barriques de chêne ayant préalablement accueilli du brandy de pommes. Le nez présente des notes vanillées, épicées, torréfiées et animales. En bouche, s’entremêlent le caramel brûlé, la pêche, le tabac frais. et de suaves notes d’alcool portées par de fines bulles champenoises.

On tap at bar hop. Finally able to try this without dropping $50 for a bottle. Cloudy dark beige pour, with a small off white head. Aroma is very bready and yeasty. Lots of overly ripe fruit, yeast, and some boozy barrel. Mouth feel is full, carb is very soft. Low to medium bitterness. As it warms the base belgian beer comes through, loads of yeasty esters and more ripe fruit. The barrel also comes to thr fore front, with a lot of boozy, woody, barrel, light vanilla, and some musty apples. The brandy barrel gives a strong sweetness to the beer also. Complex, but does not lend itself to a warm sunny July afternoon.

Poured at Shelton Festival, hazy yellow with medium white head. The aroma is yeast, oak, brandy, dark fruit. Slick body, oak, yeast, brandy, nice sweetness, very nice.

Bottle from 2016 in Canada. Soft carbonation, a gusher and a funk cork fruity aroma. Soft round carbonation with a funky Brett flavor and the oaky apple brandy in the finish. Delicious but it hits hard. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

‘Wild’ and wood aged version of this tripel by Trou du Diable, sampled at Gollem in Antwerp, thanks Jan for sharing. Shows a very thick and rocky, tightly papery lacing, eggshell-coloured head and cloudy peach blonde robe with warm, pale orange hue. Aroma of old wrinkly apple peel, fermenting hay, dried out banana peel, bread crust, overripe apricots, moldy oranges, old wet oak wood, wet leather, white grape juice, lemon flesh, gin. Estery onset, very fruity with sweeter impressions of ripe peach, sweet grapes and banana mingled with a mild gooseberry and green plum tartness; medium carbonation, smooth and full, pleasant body. Lovely bready malt sweet core with honeyish and fruity sweet notes on top, turning drie rand ‘Brettier’ towards the end with retronasal notes of damp hay, wet leather and fermenting fruit, dryish Sauvignon Blanc note below plus some wet wood and lingering banana and peach sweetness as well as the initial gooseberry, even vaguely lemony tartness that keeps effectuating a gently drying effect from onset to finish. Hop bitterness remains soft and in the background, some brandy-like alcohol adds pleasant ‘afterwarmth’. I like barrel aged and ‘Bretted’ interpretations of classic Belgian styles, such as – in this case – a sweetish tripel, and this one is a very good example of that concept. Very nice, should revisit this from an older bottle with more pronounced and complex Brettanomyces effects, though these are certainly already present in this sample in a more subtle form.

Die BA Version vom Fass im Muted Horn Berlin 2017-07 getrunken. Das ist für mich kein typisches Abbey Triple, da zu sehr recht gehopft ist und dann auch leicht sauer daher kommt. Irgendwie ist es dadurch auch etwas unharmonisch.

On tap at Muted Horn Berlin. Comes with a cloudy amber color and a nice white head with large bubbles. The nose is sour and acidic. Citrus, apples and some hints of wood. Taste is sour, acidic again and flavours of unripe apple. I was missing the BA (compared to some whisky there was nothing). Dry and alcoholic finish.

Des tonnes de levure Belge et de chêne!!! L’alcool était pratiquement imperceptible tellement cette bière est bien faite. Le Brandy (que je déteste d’ailleurs) était absent pour mes papilles. Bonne effervescence, belle mousse fine et blanche... Une petite touche citronnée et fermière enrobait le tout avec brio.

hazy orange colour, medium sized off-white head; aroma of apple, woody-tannin notes, citruses, bread and slight acetone; taste of oak barrel, tannins, unripe apple, acidic sourness, apple brandy, yeast and hints of acetone; spicy alcohol in the aftertaste; good Belgian strong ale, though definitely not among the best ones; for me, it is clearly not the 14th best Belgian strong ale...anyway, with this, I finally ticked the first 15 :-)
