Affligem Tripel
The king of the abbey beers. It is amber-gold and pours with a deep head and original aroma, delivering a complex, full bodied flavour. Pure enjoyment! Secondary fermentation in the bottle. (Temp: 8-10ºC)

33 cl bottle served in a trappist glass. Poured cloudy amber with two finger off white head. Aroma: caramel, citrus peel, vanilla, orange peel, coriander, hops and Belgian yeast. Taste: caramel, toffee, citrus, vanilla, orange, honey heather, coriander, cinnamon, lemon, mandarin, Belgian yeast, black pepper, green apples, pear. Medium body with a fruity bittersweet finish. Beautiful fresh and fruity tripel!
zapach średnio intensywny, winne jabłka, przyprawy, ziele angielskie, lekki pieprz, kurz, piwnica, ale w dobrym wydaniu, brązowy cukier, w tle dojrzałe, winne i półdzikie jabłka, do tego dobrze ułożony, ale obecny czysty alkohol. kolor złoty, głęboki, wpadający w bursztyn, klarowny. piana biała, średnio obfita i średnio trwała. w smaku pełne, bogate, okrągłe, bardzo dobrze ułożone, tostowane słody, karmel, dużo kurzu i piwnicy, lekkie toffi, przyprawy, trochę nut drożdżowych, bardzo lekka wanilia, skórki z półdzikich jabłek, brązowy cukier, trochę suszonych owoców i złota jesień, wszystko podbite dobrej jakości alkoholem, koniak i owocowe destylaty. goryczka umiarkowana, przyprawowa, drożdżowa i alkoholowa, dobrze ułożona. w ustach okrągłe, grzeje, ale i dość lekkie ze względu na bardzo wysokie nasycenie.
Robe or sombre, limpide, mousse correcte, un peu colorée, un poil irrégulière, stable à un petit cm. Carbo assez abondante. Nez plutôt riche : alcool, arômes d'épices typés (girofle), mais un peu « grossier ». En attaque, du malt léger, un peu de sucre, et une certaine amertume, assez vive et peu aromatique... C'est raide, même sans être trop lourd, avec de l'alcool qui ressort en rétro-olfaction et domine la longueur, avec l'amertume. On sent le côté « triple », mais sans être réellement quelque chose de subtil... Bof bof...
The beer is actually 9%abv. This is a very nice triple. It's won a few awards. Sweet and a little malty. Typical triple flavours.
Prima biertje, lekkere nasmaak. Prima op een terrasje
Eingetrübte gelb orange Farbe mit weißer Schaumkrone. Malziger, hefiger, leicht fruchtiger Geruch. Geschmacklich malzig, hefig, leicht fruchtig, leicht hopfig, spürbarer Alkohol. Mittlere Süße mit mittlerer Bitterkeit, mittlerer Körper mit spürbarer Kohlensäure.
Quality Abbey Beer ... complexe diepe smaaktonen ... pure verrijking van smaak
0,33 bottle. To gold, an amber, semi-opaque but almost transparent body, not a durable but thin white foam remaining. Very nice glass. The aroma is malt, very noble, a bit reminiscent of aszú wine, in wooden barrels. Next to it is something very good with a hazelnut burnt sugar scent! It also opens with a serious body to taste. Full, sweet, raisins, burnt sugar, yet fresh next to it. Moderately carbonated. For me, this is about an outstanding triple. Serious barrel-sweet wine aftertaste, but a very complex taste all over the mouth. When warmed, of course, with even more flavor and aroma. I don't even insist, try it!

Aranyságra, borostyános, félig opálos, de majdnem átlátszó test, nem tartós, de vékony rétegben megmaradó fehér habocska. Nagyon szép üveg. Illata malátás, nagyon nemes, kicsit aszúborra emlékeztető, fahordós. Mellette valami nagyon jó mogyorós égetett cukor illattal! Ízre is komoly testtel nyit. Telt, édeskés, mazsolás, égetett cukros, mellette mégis friss. Visszafogottan szénsavas. Számomra kb ilyen egy kiemelkedő triple. Komoly hordós-édes boros utóízek, de nagyon komlex ízvilág az egész szájban. Melegedve természetesen még több ízzel, és illattal. Nem is ragozom, próbáljátok!
Bij het inschenken een sterke geur van fruit en vergisting. Smaken van steenfruit zijn duidelijk aanwezig met een licht plakkerig mondgevoel tot besluit.
Gyllengul vätska med vitt skum. Dofter av örter och jäst. Lätt kakig, brödig smak med en ren och neutral beska. Något värmande. Hyfsad munkänsla.
Del Carrefour. Molt bona triple. Aroma a caramel, mel, punt especiat. Gust maltos i dolç, amb postgust especiat i amb lleu amargor
The aroma of sweet honey esters. It is yellow, transparent with a slight white foam. On the palate, the sweetness turns into honey, toast and a slightly bitter aftertaste. Medium body, medium carbonation.
Feinporige, dicke und lang anhaltende Schaumkrone eines dunkrlorangenen, trüben Tripels. Geruch nach Hefe, Aprikose und Mirabelle. Starke Rezens, die durchgehend das gesamte Bier dominiert. Im Antrunk kräftige Hefearomen, die auch den vollmundigen, alkoholischen Körper dominieren und durch Brotaromen begleitet werden. Im langen Nachhall kräftige Hefearomen, eine ausgprägte Säure und eine leichte Herbe. Alkoholisch-starkes und kräftiges, aber auch rezentes Tripel, bei welchem lediglich die fruchtigen Aromen etwas fehlen.
Lekker zwaar biertje. Heeft een ander etiket. Maar wel lekker.
Fruity and flowery aromas, with a yeast body and some sweetness, but still in check. Alcohol perfectly hidden. Nice.
Bruxelas
Enjoyed: Poured from bottle into trappist glass.
Appearance: Blurry amber / deep golden colour, small creamy head.
Aroma: Malt, yeast, caramel, brown sugar.
Palate: Medium body, gentle carbonation but also lively, like it’s dancing on tongue.
Taste: Yeast, caramel, hint of alcohol, bittersweet.
Overall impression: Very tasty, excellent for enjoyment.
Triple de base, sans plus. AU moins on ne sent pas trop les 9 poneys. Bof
Goudgeel licht wazig bier met witte schuimkraag. Fruitig en een beetje kruidig. Ook een toets caramel. Wel een lichte metaalgeur aanwezig.
Heerlijk biertje met mooie caramelsmaak erin
Vyborny tripel, troska sladsi, ale oka :)
Aroma : Toasted sweet caramel malt, notes of honey, grass & a burnt woody spiciness. Taste : Mild sweet malts and honey with a spicy alcoholic warmth in the finish. Other than that not much of distinction. One for a cold winter night!
Bardzo dobre, wyraziste, intensywne, jak na tripla dośc wytrawne piwo. Oczywiście idealny wygląd.
Golden color, good head. Fruity, aroma, mildly fermented fruits. Medium body, fruity and malty taste, but not much complexity though, nothing really stands out. Slightly hoppy finish. Enjoyable, decent triple, but nothing special.
0,3 liter bottle. It's an ok beer, but it won't become a regular in my fridge.
Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dallo speziato. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido si presenta velato. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, cioccolato, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso quasi balsamico, agrumi, banana e frutta passita.
Flasa z Kauflandu. Sladka medova silna mierne alkoholova vona. Medova mierne kalna farba. Chut vyrazne sladka medova tazka alkoholova. Na konci velmi dlho ostava.
This is a backlog rating from 2008 from a bottle shared by Tmoney99, from notes. When I had this beer it was average to below average for the style and not something I wanted to have again or I just didn't get back to my notes because of my technology at the time, work and/or family. Words to describe this beer are general fruit character, yeasty bread, honey, spices, ok.
