Dégustée le 2017-09-21. .

First one from this brewery. Pours a clean, slightly unfiltered amber colour with some golden hues. Frothy warm cap, great retention for a Tripel with some creamy lace. Lots of spices (mostly nutmeg) in the nose, kind of like a Christmas beer with some caramel malts and hints of apples. Nice warming alcohol mouthfeel. Gets hazy at last pour. Spices in the taste as well with some nice grassy hops in the finish. Maybe the bay leaves. The caramel malt add some sweetness. Not so much a Tripel, but a real nice strong spiced ale.

Bottle: Poured a deep hazy amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of spices and malt notes with some light caramel notes is heavier then I was expecting. Taste is heavy on spices with some caramel notes, light cereal notes and a light spicy finish. Body is full with good carbonation and some light warming alcohol notes. Not really close to the style guidelines but interesting nonetheless. Missing attenuation for greater drinkability.
