L- Deep gold, very slight haze (stored and poured carefully*). Little head formed during the slow/gentle pour, but there is sufficient ongoing rising CO2.
S- Quite mild. It has a smell reminiscent of a Witbier, some spices, notably coriander. I can also smell the 9%ABV alcohol.
T- Bam, Wit-style, spicy, alcohol, meaty.
F- It's quite rich, perhaps more of a comforting winter-warmer than refreshing high summer beer. I don't favour outright 'sweet' anything much and once or twice did ponder if this is just a little on the sweet-side for me. My wife, a bit of a sweet tooth, and fan of Tripels, is loving it.
O- Lovely beer, and I'd expect it to rate higher if more people got to try and rate it. It is a bit sweeter than the typical Tripel's I've enjoyed, but then 9.0% is also at the top of the ABV range of such beers and maybe it goes hand-in-hand.
Very interesting to try and I'm enjoying it. The 9% comes over loud and clear. Actually after a few sips I did briefly contemplate at what point high ABV% begin to detract from a beer. This might be getting up there, don't know, meanwhile it's going down very well indeed.

* the beer pours with some minor cloudyness so I was expecting typical 'bottle conditioned' sediment to come out later when I rinsed the bottle out, but there was none. Hence it could be that the bottle does not have to be rested/poured carefully after all, as there is no apparent sludge to stir up on the pour.

Bought from the museum, 750ml white glazed clay bottle with ceramic stopper and flip-wire closure. Price: Euro8.70. Be aware if planning to purchase that a full bottle weighs a hefty 1.7Kg! BB: October-2020.
p.s. It's a nice bottle that we can re-use for other things so I thought this tip worth sharing. Removing the lables is not straight-forward (without acetone or other solvents), but I felt lucky to discover this... When I carefully peeled off the front lable it left almost all it's rubbery glue on the bottle (sigh!). But when I removed the rear lable it also had a rubbery glue, but left none at all. It's like they're two different glues. In fact the rear lable was still so super-sticky that I could use it to dab the glue residue left on the front and remove all of it. Ie. If I'd removed the rear lable and simply chucked it, I'd be left with a very gluey bottle.
