Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a large brown color head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light roasted malty with lactose and medium vanilla notes. Taste is quite heavy with light roasted malt offset by solid amount of lactose and some vanilla notes are also easily noticeable. Body is full with syrupy texture and good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Interesting experiment and I get what they tried to achieve but I just don’t think this is something I would drink on a regular basis.

No hops except light grapefruit at first but plenty of dark berries that actually add, at first, some fresh fruit character.

I like the bitter finish at the end, but the overall product isn’t too stunning. Expected more from the craft beer label.

Wasn’t sure this would work, especially because I’m not a huge pumpkin pie fan but this beer is good. Smells and has a pumpkin pie start, finishes with a touch of bitterness

Bottled. An amber beer with a bit of sediment floating around under an orangey head. The aroma has notes of over ripe fruits, hops, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel and hops, as well as lighter notes of over ripe fruits. Thanks fiulijn for sharing.

Draught: Poured a hazy caramel brown with off white color head. Aroma was mostly hops and light malt. Taste was a gritty hops with malt to give it character.

Bottle shared by Jay, thanks! Poured black with a grayish brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma had notes of roasted malts, biscuit and dark grains as well as an odd paper note. Flavor had the same odd paper note that did not combine with the rest of the dark malt notes in the beer. Definitely a miss.

650mL bottle, pours clear straw yellow. Aroma of ginger and candied sugar. Flavour of candied sugar, ginger, caramelized sugar, and dates / figs. Decent for what it is, though not my style.

Hazy deep golden color. Light hopped nose that has hints of bready notes and oranges. Full bodied smooth mouth but not overly complex. Very rounded. A bit hoppier than most Triples. Very approachable, but won’t drive Belgian beer geeks to wild.

Bomber shared by TimE. Complex, original, great aroma of chocolate, raisins, caramel, earth, vanilla. Flavor of caramel, some chocolate, with light licorice accents and some wood. High carbonation makes it crisp and refreshing. Very nice and flavorful.
