33 cl. bottle @ home. Procured from Willems. No BBF. A dark triple? Nice, something different from a lot of those dull & bland beers. Pours very dark brown, hint black, touch ruby, nearly gone tanned head. Smell is sticky liquorish, touch molasses, roasted malts, sweet, touch dark fruits like prunes jam, sticky, hint roast. Tastes of liquorish, roasted malts, light syrup, touch syrupy de Liège, caramelized apples, dark fruits jam, raisins, prunes, coffee, bitter roast,… Body of a light stout. Very nice stuff, one of the better triples I have had & way better than that other beer from Hoegaarden is these days.

330 ml bottle. Pours black with medium foamy white head. Aromas of dark fruit and liquorice. Flavours of burnt malts, coffee grounds, and bitter dark chocolate. Very dry. Not a triple in the standard sense. More like a dry stout.

Bardzo dobre i ciemne prawie czarne piwo ze spora piana ale szybko niestety opada, do czego belgowie nas nie przyzwyczaili. Zapach winno-octowy, troche jak wild ale. W smaku podobne do quadrupel lub grand cru. Ale dziwi mnie ze klasyfikowane jako tripel. Alkohol w rozmiarze 10% wogole nie dokucza. Goraco polecam. Minus za skromna i nieladna etykiete

Cloudy blond color. Nice aroma, quite spicy, a lot of coriander, some bitter oranges too. Highly carbonated, smooth, with delicate wheat flavor, medium spicy character, good balance.
Pleasant.

25/X/2012 - 33cl bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk) @ home - BB: 14/VI/13 (2012-1175)

Clear orange to amber beer, big fluffy irregular head, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: bit fruity, lots of oranges, bit sweet, some citrus, little soapy. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: orange peel, lots of it! Little bit of caramel, fudge, but not really sweet, buttered whole grain toast, some citrus. Aftertaste: citric hops, some caramel, orange peel, little bitter. Ok, but not as good as the other beers from this brewery I had before.
