9/2/2020. Bottle at TripelB, Worcester. 9% abv. Pours very dark brown with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of dried fruit, toffee, malt, dark plummy fruits, and a touch of chocolate. Medium sweetness with light to moderate bitterness. Towards being full bodied, oily/sticky texture, average carbonation. Jammy, plummy, raisin finish. Enjoyable.

75cl bottle in the Jilles Brugge burger bar, had to pay because neither my wife nor I are ginger haired. Bottle conditioned, so hazy pour to the Orange/ginger body, decent off-White head. Some distant spicy notes in both the nose and taste, nothing offensive but also nothing exciting or different to set it apart from run of the mill Belgian beers.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Seems to be 9% now. Pours hazy dark brown with a thin beige head. Aromas of stewed prunes, raisins and brown sugar. Light spice, cinnamon maybe. Taste is light sweet, spice, dark sugar and plum. A bit boozy, but festive!

4 November 2019. At Café Vlissinghe, Bruges. Cheers to my dad & uncle's birthday! Pours hazy ochre with a lasting, thick, frothy, white head; some lacing. Aroma of soap, soapy coriander, wheat, yellow apple, yeast. Taste has sweet estery banana & ripe apple, quickly turning to a soapy profile of coriander, wheat & lemon, a tad peppery, all the while keeping a bready feel. Dry, grassy hoppy finish, more spicy & soapy coriander. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. Technically imperfect; and anyway the kind of standard Tripel I don't like.

4 November 2019. At Café Vlissinghe, Bruges. Cheers to my dad & uncle's birthday! Pours hazy amber with a lasting, small, foamy, off-white head; some lacing. Aroma of caramel, candied apricot, dried banana, red apple, white sugar, vague cabbage. Taste is medium to heavy malty sweet, quite 'white' sugary with hints of ripe apricot & banana, bitter touches of clove, perhaps aniseed, resting on a yeasty-bready base. Dry, grassy & spicy hoppy finish, more clove & sweet yeast, phenolic effect to be precise. Some warming gin-like alcohol & a metallic echo in the very end. Medium body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Unsophisticated 'Strong Belgian' but decent enough.
