Westmalle Trappist Tripel Ale

Opened a 750mL bottle of Westmalle Trappist Tripel Ale tonight from the Trappist Monastary of Westmalle. The monastary has a tower that reminds one of a California winery or the Tillman Tower at Clemson.

Stats:
ABV: 9.5%
Beer Advocate Score: 91 (Recommended)
Style: Tripel
Born on: Unknown

Has a deep lacy head when poured which dissipates to a thin layer and sticks nicely to the sides of the glass. Has a nice deep golden / straw color. You can almost smell a hint of orange. High alcohol content means you better be careful with this one. It has a sweet taste helps hide the taste the alcohol. An excellent example of the Tripel style.
