Bottle Deep amber body with a lightly brown creamy head. Aroma of fine malts and hops, but not very well balanced. Moderately sweet, lightly bitter flavour. Nice complexity (some spices) and a good balance.

Bottled at Fynske Øldage, Odense, Denmark. Copper in color, with a light tan head. Quite flat. Sweet, malty aroma. Fruity flavor with candisugar. Long, dry, bitter finish. Rating: 6-4-7-4-16-3.7. 051029

Bottle. It pours almost entirely clear, dark amber to copper in color and with a big, off-white head leavings some lacings. The aroma could easily be more pronounced, but it’s quite pleasant as it is, with a touch of cellar, lots of dried fruits and a quite sugary sweetness. Some spiced and yeasty notes too. It’s a bit thin on the palate, semi-dry and with flavors of dried fruits dominating. A pleasant bitterness finishes the whole thing. A nice one, it needs more body, but it’s still a nice dubbel. 110421

Bottled. At Fynske Øldage, Odense, Denmark. Light golden with a white head. Low on co2. Aroma is sweet malt, light citric, but a bit too light. Flavor much the same, but definately not bad. Rating: 6-3-7-4-15-3.5. 051029

Bottle. It’s an almost clear one, golden-orange in color and with a dense, white head of moderate size. Nice lacings. Some cellar and yeast on the nose, but mostly canned peaches and some citrusy notes. The flavor has a nice alcoholic touch to deal with the sweetness and fruityness. Some pale malts. Full-bodied and smooth, with a faint warming touch. A pleasant, dangerously quaffalble tripel. 110421

Bottled. Quite fizzy beer. Golden with white head. Candi-sugar sweetness and wheat in aroma. Sweet, fruity taste and a long warming and sweet aftertaste. Rating: 5-3-7-4-15-3.4. 051029

Bottle. It pours a slightly hazy, orange-golden body with lots of carbonation forming a big, dense and creamy off-white head. Beautiful lacings. Fruity, sugary nose with peach, some banana, generic fruityness, a spicy touch and some hops. The flavor is maybe a bit on the sweet side, but not much. Some white sugar is sure present, but there’s enough hops, spices and fruityness to cope with it. Rather dry finish with decent bitterness. Full-bodied and quite effervescent. Maybe not the best tripel, but I like it. Quite easy to drink and tasteful. 090616

Bottled. Golden beer with a white head. Quite sparkling. Aroma of citrus and wheat grains. Warming, with flavor of grapefruit and grain. Bitter finish. Rating: 6-3-7-4-15-3.5. 051029

Bottle. It pours a two-finger, dense, white head over a slightly hazy golden body. Nice lacings. Quite weak, but pleasant, aroma, with citrus, wheat, a touch of spices and a touch of yeast. Peachy and cellary notes. The flavor has a pleasant sugary sweetness, but it’s also quite dry, with a nice balancing bitterness.Medium body, and a fine carbonation. Although not a super intersting beer, it’s tasteful, quenching and easy drinkable. 110421

Bottle. Yellow colour. Big, stable white head. Sweetish start and peppery finish. Too sweet IMHO, but still nice enough.

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear amber with a rather nice, off-white head. Weak caramelish aroma with a slightly spicy nose - cannot pinpoint the exact spices though. Sweetish, flavours of caramel malt. Almost no bitterness. Quite christmasy. 291005
