A - hazy (perhaps slightly from bottle conditioning) golden color with a decent head that leaves a nice lacing
S - strong fruity esters with sweet malt and no hop noticeable
T - complex fruity ester flavor from start to finish; sweet malt with no hops detectable - finishes very sweet; perfumy alcohol noticed on finish, but not really enough to dry out the strong malt sweetness
M - medium body, moderately high carbonation
D - I picked up this bottle in a great beer store in Lexington on a recent summer trip. I've always liked stopping at BBC in Louisville and it appears there starting to bottle special editions so I thought I'd give it a try. This tripel is definitely closer to the abbey version than the trappist versions as it finishes quite sweet. The esters really overpower and spicy phenols also. But what it lacks in phenols it somewhat makes up for in ester complexity - to a degree. It could use a bit more hop as it borders on cloying. And in that respect it almost seems like a not-so-clean strong golden ale (strong sweetness & esters). I don't regret having picked it up, but probably won't be purchasing this one again. It was good enough thought that I would consider purchasing another special from BBC.
