22 ounce bottle into chalice, bottled on 8/17/2017. Pours slightly hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big lemon, orange, peach, pear, apricot, red apple, melon, peppercorn, coriander, clove, light banana, vanilla, spicy rye whiskey, toasted oak, honey, candi sugar, rye bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, rye whiskey barrels, pale/rye malt, and moderate earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big lemon, orange, peach, pear, apricot, red apple, melon, peppercorn, coriander, clove, light banana, vanilla, spicy rye whiskey, toasted oak, honey, candi sugar, rye bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast/oak earthiness. Moderate peppery yeast/rye/whiskey/oak spiciness and some herbal/grassy hop bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, orange, peach, pear, apricot, red apple, melon, peppercorn, coriander, clove, light banana, vanilla, spicy rye whiskey, toasted oak, honey, candi sugar, rye bread dough, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, rye whiskey barrels, pale/rye malt, and moderate earthy hop flavors; with an awesome malt/spiciness balance; and zero cloying/astringent flavors after finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and yeast/rye/oak spiciness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/silky/sticky, and fairly tannic balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Mildly increasing warmth of 10.5%, with zero barrel booziness lingering after the finish. Overall this is an outstanding Tripel! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, rye whiskey barrels, pale/rye malt, and moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth and dangerously easy to sip on for the big ABV. Great well rounded yeast complexity, balanced rye/pale malts and earthy hops; outstanding barrel presence/integration with no booze. The silky barrel smoothness was a highlight. Well attenuated and not sweet/heavy for the ABV, with nice dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
