Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of ditmier. Pours a cloudy yellow with a white head. The nose is a little rough, some almost smoky phenols, yeast and fruit. Medium body, first your typical Tripel notes of sweet fruit and yeast and then comes some rough woody notes leaving again some phenols. The finish has some alcohol heat. Not sure what to mean about this. 230211

On tap at Brewforia Beer market, Meridian, ID. Black with a modest but dense and lasting yellowish sandy colored head. Big coffee aroma and classic porter roasted notes as well. Body is a bit thin and fairly dry like a typical porter but that coffee comes through in a big way here as well. Dominant, but not harsh and bitter like black coffee can be. Softly carbonated, smooth and soft bodied. Can barely detect any hops and the finish is roasted coffee again. Major coffee in this but it works and it is a nice soft porter otherwise.

Bottle from PCC market in Fremont. Pours very dark brown with a layer of beige/tan smear. Aroma is sort of coffee grounds. Gritty. Med body. There’s so much coffee that it hits the tongue like chili. The coffee is so strong it obscures the burnt malt. It finishes really dark coffee. Eye opener.

Bottle. Poured red with thick off white head, much lacing. Herbal aroma with a little butter and a little citrus. Flavour not the hop bomb it seems to imply it is. A solid malt backbone in all the hoppiness. Back of the tongue finish.

Has a nice flavor. I detect no spices. Highly carbonated with a medium body. Tasty, but a pretty average winter warmer.
