Aviator Brewing Company Devils Tramping Ground Tripel Tripel at 9.2% ABV (2015 Craft Beer Advent Calendar Day #5, 355 ml, bottle date 26-Aug-2015, reviewed 5-Dec-2015)
Appearance: clear medium gold with one finger of white rocky head, good retention and lacing. (4/5) Aroma: doughy yeast, candi malt, honey, stone fruit, floral. (6/10) Taste: moderately strong sweet, mild bitter, lightly tart. (6/10) Palate: medium-full body, moderate carbonation, syrupy, sticky, and slightly hot finish. (3/5)
A fairly authentic-tasting Belgian-style tripel, albeit of the sweet style rather than the dry which I prefer. It’s a bit of a handful, syrupy and hot, but reasonably drinkable despite the high ABV, and with a mild funk lending an air of Belgian authenticity. (13/20)
6.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
