tripel poured a semi-hazy oranigsh yellow color with a thumb width, off white head.  The aroma is huge, dominated by sugar cane and malt.  The body is smooth and thick, bold and in your face.  Similiair to the nose, there are huge amount of malt and sugar cane, a few apricot notes with some underlying hops.  The finish offers a little dryness and a decent amount of warmth from the high ABV.  Overall, a well-made, monster tripel. A sipper for sure, the deep, complex profile pushes this beer right against the boundaries of even a big beer style like a tripel.  The finish struggles to balance out the huge body, but that might be nitpicking.  A beer that can be drank alone, paired, or even better laid down for a year or so.

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
