Ambre body, with a small, yellowish head. Aroma of toffee, honey, sweet yellow fruits. Tastes similar, but even sweeter. Medium, oily mouthfeel, with a low carbonation. Finishes boozy, heavy, sweet. Not really my cup of tea, much too sweet and pretty heavy, I prefer it more balanced. Score: 7 / 4 / 6 / 3 / 14

Tastes Marzipan, spices, tobacco, honey, lightly oxidized. Finishes light to medium sweet with notes of tobacco, honey and Marzipan. Heavy, pretty well integrated alcohol, still rather heavy.

375ml bottle from the brewery - dark orange pour, slight carbonation - nose has the phenol and ester presence you’d expect from the style, but also a ton or orange marmalade, honey, floral notes, and some slight darker fruit character you don’t expect from the style - not that I’d call this a Tripel but it is a riff on it - medium body, texture a bit syrupy - moderately spicy, moderately alcoholic - sweet honey and wildflower flavors - golden raisin and grains of paradise character- finish is fairly strong on the alcohol - needs some time to mellow, I think, but still good.

Capped 375 from Tavour. Pours orangey gold with a very slight head of mostly bubbles. Aroma has a lot of fruity esters. More than medium body. Flavor has stone fruits - very estery - with definite clove. Maybe a bit of banana. Yeast/spice works for me. Heat is detectable, but not annoying. Fairly towards dry and heat apparently stands in for hop bitter. Which makes the heat unobvious. Excellent ale.
