12oz bottle. Light copper color with thin white head. Full aroma of sweet malts, pale malts and something vaguely citrus mixed with butter. Flavor is much like the aroma with sweet malts, pale malts, what I think may be semi sweet grapefruit hop flavor, some hop bitterness and fresh bread.

Bottled on 11/30/05; Bottle from cbkschubert! Thanks Craig; Nose of coffee and chocolate, with a little roastiness and smokiness; opaque brown with a very small tan head; medium thick body with coffee, chocolate, and alcohol showing up. The alcohol and a tiny bit of hop show in the finish.

765ml bottle vintage date 7/30/03. Poured into small goblet glass. Firstly, I am not sure how similar these old bottles recipes are to the new 12 oz bottles. Secondly, I love the extra 15 ozs and the old labels are so much better than the new 12oz labels. But I guess change happens and those who dont like it get stuck in the past. So first thing I could say is that its a dark tripel. This is not unheard of but interesting. Again, I have never had the 12 oz bottle but this is a dark amber color. Even though popping the cap a lot of guess seemed to erupt there is no head and just some minimal lacing. Aroma is strong, high on maltiness. Actually, I would never even guess this is a Tripel. The age is definitely evidenced in the aroma. There is a pruney-raisony-alchy aroma reminiscent of aged barleywines in the aroma. It is definitely spicey and fruity in the prune aspect. Taste has got some melon like characters in it but mainly again a pruney-cookiedough flavor emerges from the malt. Again, the age has turned this into an unrecognizable tripel. I feel some oxidization or what just seems as a degradation of the beer. But still very drinkable and I’d say still cellarable for a few more years. It has a yeasty feel throughout. Leaves a sweet spiced aftertaste. The carbonation is low and bitterness is low.

My very first Stoudt. Slight sweet toffee aroma. Darker than your typical pale yellow american beer. Not bitter on the hit and no bitter finish but, had just a little teeny bitter linger.

Poured a clear watery orange with no head. Strange aroma, grainy but not very pleasant. Flavor was better though, slighty malty with a nice solid hop flavor at the finish. Grainy mouth feel with a bitter after taste. Slow start, nice finish with the hop flavor.

Clearish coppery body, thin off-white head. Grassy, herbal aroma, perfumey, with little malt character. Body is toasty with a cerealy Cheerios character, drier than sweet, backed by herbal, grassy, bitter hops. Strong carbonation. Reminds me more of an Irish Ale than an Oktoberfest. Pleasant but watery.

Bottle. Rich reddish-amber beer with an off-white head. Grapefruit and pine aroma, but not as strong as most IIPAs. Resiny, caramel flavor with good balance. Finished with grapefruit and resin. Fuller bodied. Not overly hopped, but still good. Seems to oxidize quickly.

Clear light copper color with nice looking off white head. Aroma is sharp grapefruitiness and pine with a little bit of sweet malt. Fresh tasting grapefruit and pine hoppiness with a small amount of caramel malt sweetness about midway. This beer is considerably more IPA like than several “IPA”s I’ve tried lately. Really tasty Pale.
