From the International Beer Collector subscription in February 2022. Drunk in October that year.
L: Pours a dark, thick, honey-coloured yellow in the glass. Bright white head with a persistent, centimeter-high rim of foam that recedes towards the middle of the glass into a thin covering. Lacing down the glass.
S: Aroma is sweet malt, fairy floss, and honey. Spicey Belgian yeast, and a slight clovey note that becomes more pronounced as it warms.
T: Taste is sweet malts, a touch of booze, some grape must, and spicey Belgian yeast. The beer carries its 8% ABV very well.
M: Mouthfeel is soft and sherbety. Carbonation is restrained.
O: Overall this is quite a restrained tripel with nothing standing out to overwhelm any of the other aspects of the beer. It's a good thing that ultimately everything works in harmony, but it also means it misses that certain something to make it stand out from other tripels.
Cheers!

Bottle, at Den Tatoverede Enke, Copenhagen. Brown colour, large foamy head. Pretty standard tripel aroma. Nice moderately malty flavour with mild spices. ABV is well hidden, finish is a bit bland.

L- Light chestnut brown, pours clear (it's filtered), with 1.5Cm pillowy white head. [ps 15mins later, head holds really well].
S- Some fruit notes, quite mild for me.
T- Initially light then fast into deep and pungent, like deep/dark/intense stewed fruits
F- Wonderful! Clearly a Tripel, and with the oomph of it's 8% there to relish. Zero out of place/balance for me I'm really enjoying this.
O- What a lovely beer, pretty meaty at 8% yet still so elegant and refined with it. I'd very happily drink this again, even more so if I would have to pay less for it!
£4.09/330ml caged and stoppered bottle, bought from BeersOfEurope/UK for home delivery.

33cl bottle. Pale golden pour, with a coarse grained near-white head. Smells like Belgian yeast, pilsner hops and a bit of caramel. Tastes sweet with an added medicinal bitterness, taste notes including Belgian yeast, corn, bread, spices, bitter herbs, a hint of lambic funkiness.

Had this one on tap with dinner. Pours hazy deep golden with a frothy white head. Aroma of sweet fruits like pears, some honey, hints of spice. Flavor follows the smell closely with light sweetness and yeast funk. Easy drinking, medium bodied, with medium carbonation. Is have this again, though there are better options when in Belgium.
