Served at the brewpub in State College, PA on 15-Sep-09. Entered, lost and re-entered. This is Otto's Tripel (note the spelling) D and not the Triple D, a new Belgian IPA. I am very excited to see a Belgian IPA from this joint.
A: The ale is a golden amber color, more brown than orange. The muddled result is opaque but radiant. A finger of head insulates the ale nicely but it doesn't linger long. On the plus side, an attractive lace is left in its wake.
S: The nose is a Belgian blast of candi sugars, sweet yeast and earthy hops. The sweetness upfront tries to mask the hoppiness but in the long run, the bitterness emerges as a sweet pairing with the spices. The end result is a floral wonderland.
T: Mmm mmm mmm, I love Belgian IPAs. The swirling tripel and biting IPA are awesome. The tripel side is sweet, loaded with candi sugars, pepper and fruity sweetness. The IPA side is earthy, a dirty floral hop bite. The two aspects, when combined, are nearly perfect. The sweetness lingers but is met by the hoppiness. The heavier body is evident with each sip, throwing more alcohol onto the proverbial fire. The hoppiness improves, adding sweet citrus fruits as it warms. The tripel side remains unchanged but, oh, what a combination. Glad to see Otto's finally get one of these out.
M: The mouthfeel is complex, yeasty and bitter. From the first sip I was in love.
D: At nearly 10%, this is too big to pound. I sipped on my glass and immediately wanted more, regardless of how I'd feel tomorrow. A very good Belgian IPA that you should try if you live within a 2 hour radius from Otto's.
