Aroma is somewhat fruity with some floral notes and sweetish caramel. Flavour is slightly sweet and refreshing with some fruits, caramel, hints of citrus and spices. Surprisingly good one.

Aroma is sweet and malty with hints of toffee. Flavour has sweet malt with caramel and candy sugar. A bit harsh finish. A Belgian strong with elements from bock beers, does not feel like a tripel.
