Golden amber color. Spicy, buttery aromas and flavors of coriander, allspice, bitter orange, and cultured butter with a creamy, lively, finely carbonated, dry-yet-fruity full body and a warming, complex, long finish evoking notes of bitter almond, singed tart shell, and hazelnut husk. Not for the faint of heart; step up and challenge this devilish Tripel.

Belgian Style Strong Ale

Belgian style strong ales range in color from medium to dark brown and in alcohol from 8-11%. These beers typically have a fruity Belgian yeast character and a degree of sweetness coupled with a viscous mouthfeel. This category also includes Belgian style quadruples. Better examples of this style strike a seamless balance between rich, sweet malt flavors, alcohol and complex Belgian yeast flavors ranging from banana to dark fruit. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Dogfish Head Raison D’Etre, Brouwerij Bosteels Pauwel Kwak, La Trappe Quadrupel and Brasserie Dubuisson Freres Scaldis.
