(October 2013). 330 ml bottle, from Voldby Købmandsgaard. BB date 09.08.13. ABV is 9%. Hazy deep golden to pale brown colour, moderate white head. Sweetish and spicy aroma, typical of belgian ale yeast - but also some "unfresh" hints, which may or may not be caused by aging. Quite refreshing flavour for a 9% beer, not as sweet as many other tripels, spicy and malty notes, hints of brown kandij sugar, despite the beer apparently being "Reinheitsgebot". Decent hops in the finish.

330 ml bottle, at Grand Café-Restaurant Loos, Rotterdam. " A very good choice, Sir" said the waiter, and he was damn right. Deep golden to orange colour, moderate white head. Pleasant aroma of American hops, with notes of oranges, grapefruit and pine. Pleasant and well balanced flavour with the same elements, not too sweet, and not too bitter despite its 70 IBU. Went well with my sole meunière and frites.

500 ml bottle, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.3%. I've had clootie dumplings (the pudding, that is) the last couple Christmases, my family finds them more palatable than the traditional English Christmas puddings. But a beer tasting of clootie dumplings, hmm? Clear copper colour, moderate off-white head. Nice aroma of malts and mild Christmas spices. Flavour of malts, toffee and distinct Christmas spices, with an unexpectedly distinct and sharp hop bitterness in the finish. Might buy again for Christmas, or brew a homebrew similar to this.

From a forgotten backlog, thanks to Holmen1. Sample from bottle. Black colour, tan head. The guava is hard to identify in aroma flavour. Rich stout mouthfeel and flavour. Fruity notes that remind me of blueberries.
