3.8/5
AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 ounce foil capped bottle into chalice, no bottle dating. Pours hazy golden orange color with a small foamy off white head that disappears quickly. No lacing on the glass, with some carbonation streaming up. Aromas of banana, molasses, candi sugar, pear, honey, biscuit, pepper, spicy yeast, and a bit of booze. Some pretty decent aromas with good strength. Taste of big pear, orange, banana, molasses, candi sugar, bubblegum, pepper, clove, yeast spices, and a bit of alcohol. Lingering notes of citrus, banana, pepper, and spices on the finish for a bit. Medium carbonation and fairly full bodied; with a creamy and slightly slick mouthfeel that drinks pretty well for 10%, but it is definitely a sipper. Good balance of flavors; with no cloying sweetness as expected from the style. Alcohol is fairly well hidden, but there is a good sized warming on the finish. Overall this is a very nice Tripel style, if a bit on the boozy side. Really enjoyed this one.
A nice and enjoyable Tripel as I was hoping for. Good drinkability for such high gravity.
