La Trappe Tripel (Koningshoeven / Dominus)
Poured into a Chimay glass. A: Pours quite dark with an average sized head; there are large chunks of yeast at the bottom of the bottle and lots of it. I usually don't mind the yeast, but the chunks just make this beer look unappetizing. S: Smells like concentrated apple juice; it smells way to sweet and strong. T&M: Where did the sweet smell go? The beer tastes of apple juice for a millisecond when it hits my tongue. Instantly the sweetness goes away to almost nothing except a light honey-alcohol taste. What remains is a slightly oxidized aftertaste. There just isn't much to this tripel, nor does it seem like one. D: I just don't enjoy the beer that much nor to I see a scenario where I would buy this beer again. There are much better tripels out there, and the aftertaste doesn't warrant another beer.
