Slightly sweet with a complex malty flavor. The spicy flavor comes from our unique blend of Trappist yeast and Belgian candi sugar - making it both aromatic and flavorful. It will benefit with aging up to two years. VINTAGE DATED.

Bottle @ Fastelavnssmagning 2012, Ulfborg. Pours cloudy golden with a small creamy head. Grain, candy and alcohol. American Tripel. Overly sweet cloying and nasty! Burning hot!

Bottle, 22oz. A clear, dark golden beer with a small, off-white head. Rather sugary, candyish nose with caramel, some grassy, peppery hops and some alcohol. Some dried fruits too. It’s warming, full-bodied and sweetish on the palate, with flavors of dried apricot, sugar, bitterness and some grass. Lasting finish with warmth and some bitterness. Overall, too warm, and not enough tripel-ish. 120218

22 ounce bottle into globe glass, 2011 bottle. Pours slightly cloudy deep golden straw color with a nice 2 finger dense off white head with great retention that reduces to a thick lacing cap. Some nice lacing clings on the glass as well; good amount of carbonation streaming up from the bottom. Aromas of big lemon, apricot, pear, candi sugar, clove, tart and spicy yeast. Nice aromas with big strength. Pretty much spot on from what I was expecting from the style; pretty much no alcohol noticed in the aromas. Taste of huge pear, apricot, lemon, caramel, candi sugar, biscuit, clove, pepper, spicy yeast, and a bit of tart grains. Lingering notes of pear, apricot, pepper, clove, and tart spiciness on the finish for a bit. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a lightly creamy and fairly slick mouthfeel. Nice and easy drinking, but is still a sipper as expected. Alcohol is nicely hidden, but there is still a decent sized warming on the finish. Overall this is easily one of the best American made Tripels I have ever had. Super fruity, yet balanced. Easy to drink despite being 10%.

Draft: Babyfood banana nose with apricots underneath. Clear amber, thin head. Doughy banana flavor with apricot accents, particularly in the finish. Subtle lemongrass. Drinks a little warm even for 10. Solid wheaty tripel.

Bomber from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA, quite some time ago. Opened 6/29/11. Pours a hazy golden color with particulate matter. Medium sized creamy white head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of bread, candi sugar, tropical fruits and stone fruits. The taste is bread, brown sugar and tart fruits, mainly stone fruits with some pineapple. Medium bodied.

Tap at BCTC 2010. Pours a mostly clear yellow with a medium, pure white head. Sweet fruits and yeast in the aroma. Flavor too is sweet, with more fruits and yeast as well as some pepper and clove. Medium bodied with average to lively carbonation and some warmth. Finishes sweet with bready malts and yeast. Very decent.

22oz Xmas 2009 bottle drank July 2010. Very attractive appearance. Murky golden orange, with a steady, Frothy beige-orange head. Big and sugary, but pulls it off. Sweet fruity Belgian yeast tones and lots of candi sugar. Sort of concurrent with the Heavy Seas line, way too much of a sugar bomb to really be considered authentic or traditional, this is it’s own creature. At 10%, this is pretty drinkable though. Has aged exceptionally. Creamy yeast notes. Wish I had a few more of these. Nice beer.
