Slow Chair Tripel
Moat Mountain Smoke House & Brewing Co.

Can: Poured a slightly hazy dirty yellow color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of strong ester with perfume elie notes and residual sugar notes. Taste is also dominated by strong ester with some perfume notes and overly present residual sugar notes. Body si full with good carbonation and some apparent alcohol notes. This one's a bit messy and lacks some attenuation.

Overall quite nice, really hits the spot for a Belgian tripel

Can. Beautiful clear golden orange with lasting dense ring and island. Boozy vanilla peppery spice aroma. Sweet vanilla honey malts with medium apricot fruity yeast and just a tiny pleasant hint of bubblegum and peppery herbal boozy finish. Medium-full body with just enough carbo to bite at the sweetness. A great American tripel. There are so many fucked up American tripels -- too boozy, too sweet, hints of caramel, carbo to low, boozy cardboardy finish, no head or texture -- that I almost didn't buy this. But it's one of my favorite styles. Bra-fucking-vo.
