Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear, deep and warm amber with a huge, lacing beige head. Perfumy nose. Solid body, roasted malty, overripe fruit, brown sugar and a perfumy spiciness. Quite a bitter finish though. 211009

Golden with a lasting white head. Aroma is yeasty and spicy with fruity banana notes. Dry and yeasty flavour

Bottled 330ml. -Slight hazy golden/yellow coloured, medium sized white head, some hints of coriander in the nose. Sweet malty, fruity and yeasty with notes of alcohol and coriander. Long-lasting spicy aftertaste. Somehow quite weak palate.

Bottled 33 cl (Bs, BB 03/2010). Slightly hazy golden color, small white head. Spicey nose has black pepper and iron plus some pear-dominated alcohol. Fruity flavor (pear, apricot), white pepper, alcohol. Long spicey aftertaste. A bit thinnish. Not much yeast in the bottle. Basic triple without any big faults; no highs - no lows that is.

Bottled (Bs, BB 01/2011). Dark ruby-brown color, medium-sized off-white head. Caramelly dark fruity nose with some brown sugar and alcohol. Crisp carbonation. Caramel, spices, some licorice, iron. Long spicey and alcoholic aftertaste. This one has more "bite" than standard middle-on-the-road abbey dubbel.

Gushing (-1) to huge yellow-brown head over gorgeous deep ruby-brown (+1) beer. Sweet bready & leafy nose, roasted malts, sweet. Burnt-bitter flavour overlying more sweet malts. Some leafy notes, but generally quite dull. Well-bodied, near-chewy, bit fizzy. Some might argue balance, I would rather maintain lifeless...

Very good, creamy & yellowish head, fed by good carbonation in golden, toast-coloured beer. Quite spicy nose, horseradish, mustard powder, Szechuan pepper; some EU hops obvious. Pretty decent, inviting nose, ending on some salty S-link. Quite dry flavour, more rootspices and white candi sugar; ending pretty bitterish, even a bit metallic even. Only warming up reveals more sweetness, as well as a bit of vanilla. Very carbonated, and well-attenuated. Bit creamy MF, all the same. I’m nearly tempted to regard it as original - whatever, this is a more than decetn, if a bit weak tripel by Du Bocq.
