In ancient Chinese medicine, the “Triple Burner” was responsible for the production and flow of energy throughout the body. The Triple Burner, or “San Jiao”, is not an actual organ of the body, but a sort of "spiritual water wheel” that takes in food, water, light and air, and transforms them into the life force known as “qi”. Tonics supporting the Triple Burner often included licorice root to encourage “natural sweetness and a light, joyful presence.”
We don’t know if it’s all true, there’s no denying that it sounds really cool. And frankly, we think everyone’s "qi” could use a little more balance. White wine barrels, a licorice spice blend from the famed spice wizard Lior Lev Sercarz, and a strong Belgian-inspired tripel base create Tripel Burner, a heady, aromatic ale that reaches a higher state of serenity.
Take a sip. Do you feel it? A certain warmth, a dry palate opening onto a fleeting impression of sweetness, a rush of figs, a touch of vanilla, a whisper of mint, a transportation of the mind? Poured into a proper glass, among friends, family or other good people, Tripel Burner can bring all the elements of the situation together. Relax and allow the energy to flow between you, your people, the music, the lights, the food. Good. You have arrived. Mind you, we are not claiming that Tripel Burner binds the universe together. That would be preposterous. Wouldn’t it?

75 cl bottle at the brewery. Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Estery fruity and phenolic. Wineous, spiced, nutmeg, sweet and wooden. Vague acetone note. High carbonation. Fruity and slight wooden finish. Lingering dry caramelish and fruity. Phenolic finish. Crazy beer, great experience, sadly too carbonated.

Fra flaske på årets siste Mi2, Cardinal des-16: vi går inn i de siste rundene med flagget til topps, her medisineres det kraftig! Denne er lett uklar gylden med flott skum som varer. Vinøse toner i aroma og smak, saftig og myk og kompleks - lakris, kandis, mynte, brennenesle/løvetann, vanilje, lys malt. Et skikkelig koseøl, uten at det er for søtt.
