First off, I really like the presentation of this beer. The white label with the golden dragon they put over the bottle is pretty cool.

Appearance: A dark tanned leather color that turns ruby around the edges. There is a great deal of light tan head that has awesome retention.

Smell: Caramel, dark fruits, and alcohol dominate the nose. I can also pick up something a little buttery in the scent as well.

Taste: Really great, complex malt flavors. Caramel and cherries as well. This is a complex, balanced beer that has a distinct spiciness at the end.

Mouthfeel: Not great. Medium body, but there was a lot more carbonation than I was expecting. The carbonation left kind of a sharp sensation on the tongue that I didn't care for.

Drinkablility: I liked this beer a lot. Mouthfeel wasn't quite what I hoped, but definitely worth a try.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

Smell: clean spring water

Taste: bitter hops with a rich, herbal, malty sweetness that carries throughout; subtle toasted walnuts pervade during each sip

This is one of the funkiest tripels Belgium has produced. Normally tripels have either a clementine, orange, or at least another citrus fruit within the flavor of the beer, but with the golden dragon not a one. This beer caught me off guard and I'm down to try it soon. By the way, This beer goes very well with an Italian sub with heavy mayo and oil
