Last but not least comes a different kind of Tripel, if I had to classify it as anything I would say it would be most like if a Tripel and a Dubbel were combined into some amazing concoction. Anyway... lets get to the beer.
It pours light brown with a decent sized white head that quickly fades into a small half finger sized ring. Very good carbonation with tight knit bubbles. Not much lacing. The aroma is of hops, light fruits, brown sugar, maple. Its very sweet with a subtle hops backbone. The taste is very sweet at first and then leads into a nice bitter hoppy ending with a slight warming sensation from the alcohol at the end.
It may be because I'm partial to Belgian Dubbels, but this was by far my favorite out of the four we tried for "Tripel" night. If you can find it, try it, you won't be disappointed.
