330ml bottle [as 'Hofnar Tripel']. Slightly cloudy, reddish-brown colour with average to huge, frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white to beige head. Sweet-ish, sugary, malty aroma, hints of treacle, dark honey, floral overtones. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally dry, minimally sugary, caramel malty, hints of treacle, dark honey, caramel, burnt caramel with a bitter touch. Watery texture, slightly overcarbonated. Kind of diluted caramel somehow.

24 October 2019. At Bier Circus, Brussels. Cheers, Anke & Pieter! Cloudy dark brown, blackish, with a lasting, small, foamy, beige head. Aroma has lots of cherries, sweet and sour, Mon Chéri, fondant, marzipan, chocolate powder, raisin. Taste has sour cherries galore with an almond-, marzipan-like, nutty sidenote, chocolatey & biscuity maltiness, vague sweet cherries too, bitter mocha & chocolate powder, faintly chemical effect. Dryish, earthy hoppy finish, a bit toasty, quite tart, lingering sweet & sour cherries, warming Maraschino-like alcohol. Medium body, creamy texture, lively carbonation. Interesting Fruited Porter, somewhat over the top actually, definitely messy too, not blending well. But if you want to try something else for a change...

Cloudy golden, frothy white head. Lots of dank herb warmth, dried herbs, nutty fruit seed notes, some vague fruit behind. The taste is herbal and bitter, almost free of sweetness, with a massaging soft juicy mouthfeel. Feels maybe just a bit thin.

Bottle. Almost black. Malt, licorice, brown sugar and apple in the aroma. Sweet flavor with licorice and some roasted malt, lingering on in the aftertaste. Thin. Not unpleasant.

Bottle. Orange greyish blonde, cloudy, huge head. Vegetable aroma: leak and cabbage. Orange, yeast, ginger and vegetable notes in the sweetish, flowery and somewhat perfumed flavor. Disappointing.

Bottle. Dark brown color. orange, caramel and a hint of yoghurt in the aroma. Caramelly sweet flavor with hints of cinnamon, pepper and a hint of yoghurt. Milk chocolate. Nothing special.
