Commissioned Silenrieux tripel, thanks to tderoeck. Very thick, cobweb-lacing, foamy, rocky, snow white head, hazy warm golden blonde with khaki tinge. Aroma unfortunately suffering from strong DMS (overcooked cauliflower), next to notes of pear, sweetbread, pineapple, banana peel, turnip juice, raw potato, cloves, grass, coriander seed, white pepper, green olives, young ‘jenever’. Estery onset, apple and banana notes, fizzy carb with minerally effect; supple, rounded mouthfeel, bready malt base with caramelly edges and lingering, honeyish white candi syrup sweetness as well as persisting banana ester, yet not overly so. Light grassy and herbal hop bitterishness in the finish mingled with lingering sweetness and noticeable, insufficiently hidden, gin-like alcohol warming the throat a bit. Classically conceived sweet Belgian tripel, very old school (also in its label), like something that was brewed thirty or more years ago. Too bad for the DMS, otherwise acceptable for what it is.

330 ml bottle. Almost clear until the last pour, that’s hazy yellow, golden body under a big white head. Quite mild but delicate aroma of grain, spices, yeast, fruit and soap. Flavor is sweet pale malt, some fruit, spicy yeast, wheat and some coriander. Medium pluss body and average aftertaste. Nothing special or extraordinary really, just a pretty average slightly undefined Belgium ale with some Biere de garde, Saison and Triple qualities. No off flavors and somehow quite pleasant after a while without being impressive.

25 cl bottle. Pours unclear blonde, good white head. Smell is sweet, intense maltyness. Some banana yeast. Taste is bit bitter, sharp maltyness, slightly metallic maybe. Much abbey yeast, Not sure what its listed for as a BDG , since the bottle mentiones tripel and it does taste like one too.
