Maundy Thursday. Start of the Easter festivities. And more importantly, no work for four days. 😅🍻
Let me open a Tripel. This one clocks 10 % and has rested in Cachaça barrels for as long as 990 days! Sounds scary!
Looks nice: lucid, deep copper. A porous creamy froth reaches almost two fingers and wafts astonishingly long on the surface, but smaller, of course.
Malt, biscuit, sugarcane and oakwood emanate to my nostrils. Surprisingly pleasant. Maybe I can manage this...
Indeed, the flavor combination is not only manageable, it's lovely. Moderately sweet-leaning. Biscuit, waffle, mandarin, apricot, sugarcane, oak barrel. I can also imagine remote raisin among the components. This feels alcoholic but doesn't really taste boozy. Pleasant, like I already said.
The body is medium-full to full. The end is absolutely identical to the actual taste offer.
The mouthfeel is full, soft, smooth, gentle, a tad rich and barrel aged. Very very round. Also neatly warming.
I'm really surprised. Positively. Tripel is not necessarily an easy beerstyle, let alone when barrel aged. This one is superattractive. Pleasant (I think this is the third time in this review that I'm using that word). It is.
I'm glad I picked this. Even the price was very reasonable. 🧡🧡
Tonight is also a full moon. I just managed to shoot this photo even when it's cloudy outside. Or was it my friend A.I.? 😆
