Bottle picked up at Wine Raks, Aberdeen. No idea where these guys sourced random Belgian beers from. It pours slightly hazy deep reddish - brown with a decent khaki head. The aroma is fairly sweet upfront, intoxicating, caramel, cola, brown bread, malt loaf, fruit cake, jammy fruits, cherry, raisin, toasty brown sugars and some warming spice. The taste is firmly dry upfront, slightly bitter, toasty grains, slightly roasty, dull coffee, kinda tart, vinous, dried fruits, raisin, sultana, dried fig, cherry, toasted fruit cake, touch of banana bread, warming booze and some clove rock with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Nice character to it. Interesting and quaffable. Nice one.

Bottled. Cloudy medium brownish pour. Figs, rum, raisin and some sourness. Pretty good. Not sock knocking.

A classical Belgian tripel with all the qualities that you could expect not that subtle than the bon Voeux Dupont but it is ok, malty, yeasty, rather dry with notes of apricot, sweetness and hop. 02.11.2020, thanks Luigi for this bottle that I have tried with pleasure at Epalinges.

Thanks Luigi for this bottle that I have tried at Bonfol during this summer/winter that it is too hot. This one is good, classical Belgian beer, boozy but it is discreet, smooth and bready at the palate, a bit fruity, classical hop. 25.02.2021

Can 33cl. from AH XL Muiden @home poured into a shaker. Hazy pale golden colour, good lasting frothy white head, good lacing. Aroma sweet malt, grain, lemon, some wort. Taste above medium sweet, light bitter, lemon, candy sugar, lactose, light herbal notes. Light body, watery texture, sweetbitter aftertaste, quite metallic, refreshing but hardly a beer, pfff.
