A 10 oz. glass at the brewpub.
A: The tripel is a pale golden straw color. Oddly enough, it is opaque at the top of the glass but translucent at the base. A suspended haze, localized even. A thin head, no more than a wisp, came with the glass but was soon gone.
S: Coriander and pepper, along with candi sugars, punctuate the nose. The aromas are not overpowering and, surprisingly, there isn't much booze lying around. Bonus points for hiding the strength.
T: A gritter taste than the nose indicated. Candi sugars linger around, sweet within the ale, along with pepper and anise. The pale malts are very gritty, a chewier part of the ale. Spices are sharp, resulting in a jarring transition from malt to spice. The booziness finally catches up with you about midway through the glass. My least favorite of the day.
M: The mouthfeel is grainy, awkward in the transition to spices. The sweet spices are a saving grace, giving a little bit of punch back to the beer.
D: At 11.5%, I passed on any more. The tripel needs a bit of work to smooth out the rough edges.
