Abbaye du Cateau Vivat Triple

500ml corked & caged earthenware bottle from BCLDB Nordel Crossing. Rather pricy, I think. Medium gold pour, some haze, and a smallish white head. Terrific aroma, mainly spices and yeast, maybe some booziness. Solid mouthfeel. Nice flavour, again with the spices and yeast, high ABV is will concealed. A good one.

Bottled (thanks Samuli!). Hazy deep golden colour with a small, but long lasting white fluffy head. Leaves some lace. Aroma is fruits, sweet malty notes as well as mild bready and some spices. Flavour is very similar in a quite nice balance. Also mild alcohol shows. Nice tripel.

500 ml caged and corked earthen jug. Poured in the original Vivat glass a hazy amber orange colored Triple with a one finger white foamy head that had a good retention. Active carbonation. Superb lacing. The aroma is sweet malts, fruity, green apples, orange, spicy and floral hops. The flavour is sweet malts, spicy, licorice,notes of coriander and honey, fruity, green apples and moderate bitter. The mouthfeel is slight crispy and a bit oily. This medium bodied ale has a lingering sweety fruity finish. A very tasting and drinkable ale. Quite impressive

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a large pure white foamy head with great retention and good lacing. Aroma consists of perfect peachy fruity ester with some nice delicate floral notes. Taste is a nice mix between some floral malt with again strong notes of fruity and peachy ester dominating. Full body with great carbonation and no discernable alcohol. Very well done but I still think that the aroma was incredible and could hardly match the flavour.
