Bottle at home. Almost opaque dark brown with grayish off white head. Quite dark for a "tripel". Sweet roasted caramel and chocolate malts. Rye and barley. Grapes, dates, raisans, vanilla, chocolate, roasted almond, alcohol. Medium sweet, light bitter. Over medium body, soft fizzy carbonation. Sometimes a bit fishy ditchwater or maybe it just clashes a bit in a weird way with the cheese I’m enjoying. Nice soft caramelized and buttery feel. Good taste and finish. Quite yeasty as well. Reminiscent of Rochefort but yeastier (from memory).

Bottle at home. Clear dark mahogany with a bit fizzy dark beige head that looks like a cola head at first, but leaves a nice film. Looks very good. Massive brown sugar, toffee, raisins, light milk chocolate, dates, dried peach, some cognac. Very decandent aroma. Taste is over medium sweet and with some alcoholic bitterness. Almost full bodied with a slick feel and a bit low carbonation. Slightly let down by the palate. Still a really good beer, Rochefort it’s not, but it’s damn tasty.
