Trignac XII

Kasteel Tripel aged in Cognac casks.

Thrill to that full, rounded taste, that delicate touch of cognac and the smooth, bitter aftertaste of this unique gourmet beer. Trignac is a real collector’s item.
Only a limited edition of Trignac is brewed.

3.6 0,75 flaske delt på RBHD-samling på Bjørnøy juni-20: nesten helt klar gylden med fint skum. Gunnar har hatt denne med fler ganger, og endelig er vi der. Antydning til oksydering uten at det egentlig sjenerer. Svisker, søte appelsiner, gule epler og rosiner.

5.0 Gelig bier met een stevige schuimkraag. Dit bier heeft een geweldig goeie smaak! het bier is bitter en zoet met aroma's van hout, cognac, vanille, granig en iets heel licht citrus achtig. Perfect bier.

3.4 Botella de 75 cl en Nochebuena familiar. Color ámbar muy limpio con abundante espuma de color blanco de muy buena retención. Se aprecia gran carbonatación. En nariz es achampanada y fresca, frutas de hueso, uva. En boca es muy carbonatada y achampanada, sabores a mosto y alcohol, dulce y peligrosa. Retrogusto a taninos, astringente y suavemente amargo, poco duradero.

2.5 Bottle sample at a tasting. Clear pale golden with bubbly white head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, yeasts, soapy, some fruitiness. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, yeasts, esters, soapy. Full-bodied.

2.6 Bottle sample at a tasting at Yoav's place. Clear golden, white head. Fruity esters, some wood, alcohol, sweet, kinda boozy.

2.8 Bottle at a tasting. Clear golden, huge head. Fruity esters, earthy, soapy, spicy. Sweet, fruity, honey, floral, fruity esters, herbs, harsh alcohol flavors. Medium-bodied, fizzy. Disappointing.

3.6 75cl Bottle @ La tienda de la Cerveza, Madrid, Spain. Amber colour with a medium size white head. Aroma is malt, sweet, yeast, vanilla, hints of cognac. Taste follows the aroma. Medium body, average carbonation.

4.7 I waited to drink this one specifically today after supper. Brought it with us to watch the play in the theatre, just fantastic!

3.8 Colore arancio oro, schiuma media poco persitente, opalescente. Aromi di malto, vaniglia, crosta di pane, botte. Al palato vaniglia, cognac, sentori fruttati e vinosi, legno. Gusto mediamente dolce. Una birra caratterizzata dai sentori di cognac e di legno, leggermente sbilanciata, una tripel davvero spinta ma il genere viene comunque rispettato, l'acol è importante e si sente.

3.5 2015 vintage. Light orange pour, bit cloudy and not too much foam on the top there. Sweet and candy spice nose, somewhat estery. Tastes herbal sweet, candy sweetness, pleasant freshness there actually.

3.1 Amber golden color. Very smooth, nothing special at all. Very boring for the style and why bother

4.6 75 cl. bottle that comes in a carboard box. Bouth at La Tienda de la Cerveza, tasted at home in a Kasteel glass. Pours a clear amber colour, medium head that fades soon, small lacing. Aroma of vanilla, sugar, bananas, apples, dates. Wood and cognac are no too present but they are noticeable. Medium body, creamy, but a bit thin texture. Good carbonation.Finish but liquorous finish. Taste of vanilla, dates, apples, banana, and some cognac. Alcohol is well hidden. Complex, rich and subtle beer.

3.8 Amber color. medium sized , white head. Wood, baked apples , vanilla and yeast in the aroma. Rather unusual taste with moderate sweetness. Interesting beer.

2.1 Aroma: Medium rich, bready, over-ripe banana, vanilla, Medium-light pear. Appearance: Clear, with small floaters. Medium white head. Small bubbles, good retention. Flavour: Medium-high banana. Medium pear, bready, alcohol. Medium bitterness. Mouthfeel: Medium body. Medium warming. Medium-high carbonation. Overall: Alcohol and banana is over powering. 750 ml bottle, poured, shared.

3.7 2017 version - Beer and cognac casks, very nice combo. - a bit over carbonated, sweet, boozy - i would give it more if it wasn't overpriced.

3.8 Fruitig en cognac aroma aanwezig. Sterk in alcohol. Goudgeel met witte schuimkraag. Qua smaken vanille, fruitig en een beetje zoethout waarneembaar

3.8 Zo veel appel, beetje boozzze... zoet maar niet overdreven... afdronk met wederom veel appel.. lekker

4.0 Aus der Flasche (Vintage 2013) 2015-10 getrunken. Bisher haben die Biere von Brouwerij Van Honsebrouck immer überzeugt, aber hier hat man sich wohl bei dieser limitierten Abfüllung deutlich zuviel versprochen. Ok für ein Abbey Triple ist sehr es süffig und auch der Cognac kommt sanft durch, aber bei einem stolzen Preis von +20,- ist dieses Bier einfach schamlos überteuert. Aus der Flasche (Vintage 2013 - bbe 22.01.2017) 2020-07 getrunken. Dieses inzwischen gereifte Bier kommt deutich ausgewogener daher. Die feine Hefe und eine schöne, leichte Honig machen zu den typischen Abbey Tripel Aromen echt Spaß. Eine leichte Traubennote kann möglicherweise auf das Cognac BA zurückgeführt werden. Ein leckeres Bier wo sich der lange Reifeprozess gelohnt hat.

4.0 From cervezaaespeciales. In Kasteel glass. Shared with Carlos. Nice tripel flavors, with light wood and cognac notes. Smooth, with abv well hidden but affecting head. Share required

4.2 Originální pivo, jediné svého druhu, k tomu v podstatě ani nejde moc co dodat, kdo neokusí, nezažije. Příjemný tripel od kasteelu kombinovaný s likérem trignac, který dělá z tohoto piva pikantní kořenité pivo s vysokou alkoholovostí a příjemným dozvukem. Barva zakalené, jemně naoranžovělá, říz vyšší, pěna jemná krémová. Super!

3.8 Fles 75cl thuis. Cognac, alcohol, warm, wat zoeten. Weinig bier, meer cognac. (4-2015).

3.8 2015 750ml bottle (2475/7300) a Christmas present from my daughter. Nose is cognac, vanilla, yeast, candi sugar, and a grassy hoppiness. Lightly hazy yellow amber with a big, heavy lacing, yellow beige head. Flavor is lightly bitter, lightly sweet, with a hint of musty funk. Really good
