August 26, 2005 - #48 of 365

Brewer: Brouwerij der Trappisten van Westmalle (Malle, Belgium)
Beer: Tripel
Style: Abbey Tripel
abv: 9.5%

Background: Bottle from the store. The cork is fake and somewhat resembles a dude’s knob.

Appearance: Translucent gold with a large head that leaves some lacing. The silhouettes of bubbles seem a swarm of ascending locusts through the haze.

Aroma: Very bready and clovey. Also some unripe banana and pepper.

Flavor: Spicy and alcoholic with a strange metallic, yeasty finish. Turns fruity as it warms.

Notes: Not bad, but the alcohol detracts somewhat and the finish moreso. Thereafter heretofore doghouse!

Rating: 3.7
