Flaska från Belgiuminabox, har antagligen ett år eller två på nacken. En gusher trots att den stått stilla i kylskåpet i snart ett år. Skummar över ganska rejält men verkar inte vara något fel på ölen. Mörk, brunmurken i färgen med beige krona. Stiltypiska dofter och smaker med stor maltighet, torkad frukt, bränt socker, fruktkaka och lite kryddiga inslag. Stor, fyllig munkänsla. Drar mig inte för att säga att det finns likheter med Westvleteren, om än inte lika stor i storleken. Mycket gott.

C'est pour ce genre de bières que j'aime la Belgique. Cette triple impériale est à la fois punchy, racée et élégante. Construite autour de ses 10 % qui lui donne sa force et son élancement, les arômes de fruités (fruits rouges notamment), parés d'épices et d'une pointe de chocolat confèrent une très belle élégance à l'ensemble. En verre, nous sommes sur une brun foncé limpide surmonté d'une mousse beige de 5 mm. Comme sur l'ensemble des bières de la brasserie, de la matière en suspension est présente de façon notable. Le nez donne la dominante de l'ensemble de la dégustation : un alcool puissant agrémenté de fraise, cerises, cassis et d'une pointe chocolatée. On retrouve tous ces ingrédients dès l'attaque avec en complément des épices bien présentes. La deuxième bouche monte en puissance et en chaleur avec des notes de banane qui apparaissent. L'arrière bouche sur des arômes identiques et également sur une très bonne ampleur. Le final, long et distingué continue sur cette belle lancée. L'équilibre y est vraiment bien trouvé, pour une excellente bière.

750ml bottle. Pours a murky red-brown with lots of yeast particles that settle in the bottom of the glass and a medium, creamy, long lasting, tan head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, toffee, raisin, prune, plum, dried apricot, Belgian yeast and spice. Sweet, complex flavour of caramel malt, bread, chocolate, molasses, brown sugar, cherry, prune, raisin, plum, overripe apple, spice, earth and Belgian yeast with a dry, mild, booze warming finish. Medium body with a creamy, smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Excellent, ABV is well hidden. A great sipping beer, lots of complexity.

Bottle from the brewery. Clear orange-gold with a medium head. Spicy, fruity nose, orange, dough, sugar, malt. Very rich, biscuity malt flavor, orange, honey, light white chocolate, bit of tropical fruit. Silky, smooth, rounded body is wonderful. Prickly finish. More malt and yeast driven than hops, which I prefer, but lovely.

330ml bottle. Barely clear, brass colour with average to huge, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Spicy and slightly wheaty aroma, hints of coriander. Taste is sweet-ish wheaty, spicy, minimally fruity, hints of coriander, orange zest. Compact, integrated, a bit heavy for a Wit.
