Gouden Carolus Tripel from Brouwerij Het Anker
Rating: B
12 oz bottle at Stubbie, in Gainesville.
Appearance: Poured into a Gouden Carolus glass. Darker than your average Tripel, great head with good retention, not much lacing.
Smell: Banana-y, with a sweet caramel base. Almost wheat beer-like in the intensity of banana. The label indicates that this recipe includes oats and wheat, as well as barley.
Taste: Rich is the best way to describe it. Again, lots of banana. On the sweeter side. A lot *more* flavor, but less complexity than other tripels.
Mouthfeel: Medium body (on the full side for a tripel), probably from the oats. Carbonation seems light.
Drinkability: More on the full and rich side than I think I prefer in the style, limiting sessionability.
Serving type: bottle
