Fles gekocht bij Achelse Kluis. Zwart bier met mooie en stevige beige schuimkraag. Aroma van geroosterde mout en chocolade. Smaak is licht rokerig, chocolade, koffieachtig en caramel-achtig. Nasmaak van chocolade, noten beetje koffie en kruidig maar wel plakkerig aan de lippen.

'Brown tripel' and therefore a dubbel or quadrupel by definition, from the zealous monks of Leuven's Abdij van Park, brewing on their own premises (watch out trappists - brewing monks will be everywhere in Belgium soon...). Audibly crackling, yellowish-white, creamy, dense, pillowy, stable, sparsely lacing head on a misty caramel-bronze brown beer with deep amber hue, lots of dead yeast dots near the bottom. Aroma of melting caramel, old tea bags, nutmeg, dry birch leaves, green walnuts, unripe banana, 'Babelutten', lightly burnt toast, chewing gum, warm butter, stewed pear, walnut shells, very old brown honey, clove, something rubber-like in the background. Fruity, sweetish onset, some brown sugar 'activity' but certainly not too much, pear, banana and red apple, something bubblegummy below, as well as a very basic and dim sourish touch, moderately carbonated with a slick body (actually feeling thinner than 8.5% ABV). Smooth caramelly maltiness with a brown-bready core and very lightly toasted-bitterish edge in the end, superseded by a brown-honeyish sweetness, also carrying forward the fruity aspects; spicy, clove-like phenols appear in the end, but do not turn 'medicinal' or chemical anywhere, remaining in place like they should. Caramelly and very mildly toasty-bitter malt effects dominate the finish, further adorned by a floral, somewhat leafy hop bitterness and nutmeg- and clove-like spiciness; the bubblegum effect sadly lingers, but the alcohol - not unimportant at this ABV - remains very well hidden, though still providing a 'jenever'-ish warmth in the end, palpably going down the throat. Not a bad effort, in all: sweet, but clearly less so than its macro-brewed congeners (Leffe, Grimbergen, Tongerlo), with some mild phenolic and estery aspects. Still, I cannot help but feeling a little bit disappointed, as the other beers I had from this abbey were considerably more interesting; the bubblegummy, eventually almost glueish aspect began to bother me a bit in the end and the whole feels thinner than it should at this strength. Maybe the Park monks are better at dry, blond beer styles - time will tell. --- Beer merged from original tick of Braxatorium Parcensis 6th Libertus Cuvée on 20 Feb 2021 at 01:29 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.
