Tried this at a wonderful old cafe called Rosenkrans just inside the Vlierbeek Abbey in Kessel-Lo, Belgium (just outside of Leuven). De Schuur is one of the smallest commercial breweries in Belgium. This is one of the two regular beers they produce.
It came in a plain unlabeled green 750ml champagne style bottle with a paper neck hanger that has the logo and ingredient info on it.
In the glass it is a relatively clear darkish amber, quite different than the usual tripels you see these days. This is the influence of the caramel malt and brown kandi sugar that is used. There is a large head that soon settles down, leaving some traces of lacing on the glass.
The smell is sweetness with some slight fruit overtones and a bit of malt. Drinking it down you get maltiness and a light caramel taste with spiciness from the yeast. There is a really nice sweetness that follows up. The alcohol lingers in the background- it lets you know it is there but never overpowers the other flavors.
Overall this is a really enjoyable beer that is a slightly darker take on the tripel style. Something I would definitely have again. It is a nice one for an after dinner drink on a cool fall evening.
