Veiled golden color with strong activity. Thick frothy beige 4 finger head, lasting around 10 minutes, with strong legs. Flavors of apples, caramel, sweet grains, yeast, clove, and floral spices. Thick sweet grainy flavors with a slight metallic and alcohol aftertaste. A warming beer, almost creamy, a little dry and vinous. Oily medium body with almost champagne like carbonation. The finish is quite strong, yet well intensified and still short. Overall a very good quality beer, with nice flavors but a little heavy on the spices. Still very fresh and enjoyable, but a harsh tripel having a strong vinous and metallic feel.
