Bottle. Brown with a large pale beige head. 3+ Doughy and spicy aroma with some chocolate and dried fruit. So it tastes. There's not a lot of depth but it's partially made up for by being not too sweet -- so there's a decisiveness to the moderately bitter spicy finish that works nicely. Not bad.

Bottle. Golden amber with a large white head. 3+ Doughy aroma with oranges and spices. So it tastes - moderately sweet with citrus, spices and decent bitterness at the end. At the recommended 6C the end works well.

Bottle, bb 4/21. Murky amber with a large white head. Aroma of toast and brown sugar, some plums. Medium bodied. The plums have a slight sourness about them and there's a bitter finish as well as considerable fairly plain sweetness. Alcohol is hidden. Nice enough.

Bottle. Not a gusher (anymore?) unlike previous ratings by others. Pours clear, golden blond. Medium small, relatively fast fading white head (for the style) . Much visible carbonation. Scent is Banana, simple and straight. Bit sharp, not as creamy as one might enjoy in a tripel. Intense phenols as well, providing a dry spice. Taste is sharp, overly intense yeast profile, medium bitter. Honey, banana, milder cloves, medium body, high carbo. Touch metallic. Too phenolic, and beyond that a higher-than-needed ester profile. Not much hoparoma. Boring tripel, fully focussed on marketing rather than a unique, or even better-than-average recipe. Though this is still enourmously overpriced, it's not AS BAD as francois is. Expect this to be about €7 in bars ( where francois could be around 9 and above) if normal magrins are taken. How do they fail to see that today's market demands more than a story, and even all the more if you're beer is priced about double or more than other's in the genre?

Huge, lightly yellowish, dense head over hazy orangey golden beer. Not much nose, pale malts, if not really sweet, white candi sugar, little bit spicy. Bitter flavour, with a more neutral/sweeter finish; again spicy. Warming up, a bit of tired malts. Medium bodied, quite slick, good carbonation. Not that bad. Seems to have been around for a long time, never encountered before, now in Delhaize supermarket.

Hazy, blond color and a nice white head. Slightly yeasty nose. Nice blond with a herball spicy twist and a citric finish
