Batch 80 Tripel tasting notes

Room temp, 68 df

Pours clear golden, white uneven head with big bubbles, hangs around, nice lacing

Aroma butterscotch bitter, stone fruit, slight alcohol, light spicy hops

Mouth feel, airy, coats pleasantly, sweet but not cloying

Flavor big butterscotch, vanilla, plum followed by stone fruit, warm but not boozy, mild deep bittering but no hop flavor, nice balance

Finish, dry, malty, slight hop bitterness, even and good.

Overall, fine example of style, I think chimay yeast is better.  Something dishraggy in the aroma, very slight.
