Clear bright yellow appearance. Aroma of sweet malt and sugary fruit. Very clean and fresh tasteLight yeast in the flavour. Not an overly sweet Tripel so nice and easy to drink.

rood/bruin met minimale kaki kraag. aroma van caramel en veel héél veel donker fruit. smaken zijn redelijk zoetig, veel donkere fruiten, wat caramel, iets koffie en geroosterde mout. Nou niet echt een typische Stout, eerder qua fruitigheid en zoetigheid neigende naar een bock maar dan één met koffie en wat geroosterde mout. er zit wel smaak in... mwah

Zwart bier met veel schuim. Smaak is zoet en krachtig, chokolade, caramel en ietwat anijs, verder lichte citrus. Goed bier, helaas iets te waterig, wat redelijk lang blijft hangen.

Tap @ Weeshuis Schiedam, medium sample. Clear yellow to golden color, short frothy head. Aroma of grassy hop, slight spicy and peppery yeast. Quite bitter for a belgian tripel style beer. Going towards Duvel and Westmalle Tripel, and thatβs a compliment. Quite tasty in its grassy and flowery bitterness.
