12 ounce bottle into chalice, bottled on 8/16/2013. Pours lightly cloudy golden orange color with a small foamy white head with decent retention, that reduces to a spotty lace cap that lingers. Minimal lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big pear, apple, grape, banana, clove, pepper, honey, candi sugar, bread, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness. Fantastic aromas with great balance and complexity of malt and fruity/spicy esters; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, pear, apple, grape, banana, clove, pepper, bread, honey, candi sugar, herbal, floral, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of light fruits, banana, clove, pepper, bread, honey, candi sugar, herbal, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice balance and complexity of malt and fruity/spicy yeast flavors; with a great malt/spiciness balance and no cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a moderately crisp and slightly slick mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is a great tripel! All around great complexity and balance of flavors; and very smooth to sip on for the big ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

Draft with a meal. Ripe, sweet, dark fruit. Thick and heavy palate. Good beer to drink with food.

On tap at Bill’s Beer Garden. Pours a near clear burnt orange with an egg shell white head that dissipates completely. Aroma has a good amount of burnt candied sugar with some light fruits and a bit of earthy sweet grains. Flavor has a combination of light fruit, banana and candied sugar with a backbone of earthy sweet grains.

This brew is a hazy reddish-amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes quickly. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, caramel and slight hops. Light body with flavors of caramel malt, earthy hops and a bit of overripe fruit. The finish is short and malty. Just average overall.

Fantome glass, cellar temp. Should’ve known about the yeast at the bottom..oops poured it all in. Now a bright orange murky appearance no head. Times of raw bread, some peaches and oak. Taste is very much to style...dark fruit, bread, citrus, peaches, figs, some honey and melon. Low carbonation, metallic penny like finish.

Thanks Mike! Enjoyed in a wine glass
A - Pours nearly black. 1 finger head fades fast
S - Very sweet nose, burnt sugar, cane syrup and a hint of peaches.
T - Very english ESB taste. Some grape and kiwi taste. very weird and unexpected.
M - medium body and carbonation
O - It’s not a bad beer but just a bit too sweet and juicy for a scotch ale

Pours murky like beery milk. Aromas of strong bubblegum - bazooka. Good texture on throat here.I think some may shy away from this based on colour - finings for general population? In any case, it’s a good beer for me. Tap at Hopcat.
