Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. The Palo Santo wood gives off pretty strong spicy/herbal aromas, as well as a somewhat pinetree-like woody aspect. Also grainy malt, some yeast, touch of vanilla? Quite an out of the ordinary aromatic profile for a Tripel. Flavour is relatively bitter for the style with a medium sweetness. Body is medium. Interesting!

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, orange, dark golden to amber colour with small to average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, minimally grainy, pale and minimally spicy, rye malty as well as yeasty fruity aroma, hints of honey, yellow stone fruit, weak rye spiciness. Taste is sweet-ish and spicy rye and pale malty, slightly yeasty fruity and minimally floral hoppy, hints of grey rye bread, some honey, chamomile, yellow stone fruit. Creamy-oily texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Not your typical Triple, no phenolic off-flavours, very interesting taste - like it.
