This is supposed to be belgian tripel, per description on a 440 ml can. Also, it's been finished in sherry cask, as proudly announced.

Look: It looks like a cheap cider. Orange colour, almost non-existent carbonation, no head at all (!!!), zero lacing. Uhmm, okay. Expiry date: the 3rd of December 2022.

Smell: Sweet booze, discount store brandy.

Taste: Skunky, syrupy brandy. Booze dominates and it's so strong it actually burns Your tongue. No kidding.

Feel: Very heavy, without any of the redeeming qualities of an actual, Belgian ale.

Overall: I might be too stupid for this one. I love my Belgians and have drank quite a lot of them. This one is either so sophisticated that it is aimed at high-level Belgian beer geeks exclusively, or I've gotten a can from somehow spoiled batch. There is literally nothing about this beer, except for heavy, fruity booze and yes, it packs quite a punch. But so does any malt liquor. Such a disappointment in the context of this particular brewery.
