This beer is a Belgian Tripel that lives up to its name. Smooth and carefully crafted like a fine velvet painting, but with an 8.5% ABV this bird has some spurs! The beer pours a golden straw color with brilliant clarity. Topped with a lofty pure white head the beer has a wonderful floral nose, with subtle fruit notes. The taste is clean and crisp, with subtle fruit notes and a touch of candy like sweetness. The beer has a Champagne-like effervescent that provides a crisp offset to its sweet finish. While a pint glass is always nice, Velvet Rooster would also be at home in a tulip glass or Champagne flute.

It looks and pours suspiciously thick. Smells like Belgian yeast, but the abbey references stop there. Just as I suspected, the mouthfeel is way too thick and the taste is way too hoppy for the style (in fact there shouldn't be many hops in an abbey tripel I believe). And it's sweet too (almost cloying). I would call this a hybrid beer. A mix of a imperial pale ale brewed with belgian yeast. It has some properties of each style but in this case 1 + 1 does not = 2. I will rate it based on the style presented. A very subpar abbey tripel.

Unlike the brewer's description, I didn't find this to be much of a tripel at all. Smelled like a fresh can of creamed corn, sweet and grainy. Extremely over-sweet beer, but it does have a bitter finish. Lacked any belgian flavor style and also balance, just didn't come together.
