Dark Horse Brewing
Marshall, Michigan, USA
9.5% abv
Belgian Style Trippel
Appearance: hazy amber body; not much of a head to speak of
and I tried to give the last quarter of the bottle an aggressive pour to get
the head up; not much on the lacing front
Aroma: dull fruit; old yeast paste; dusty hint of clove;
very uninspiring
Flavors: dull is a good word; take an old apricot, pear, over
ripened banana peel, and some golden raisins and mash them up – that is the
best I can do for a non-descript dull fruity style; there is a hint of that
dusty clove spice on the back; oh, don’t forget the cheap Belgian yeast taste
Mouthfeel: almost moderate carbonation, seems low for the
style; dull fruit and dusty yeast notes linger on the palate; dry to very dry;
medium body; the alcohol (9.5) did not really play a big role in the flavor nor
mouthfeel; it did not come across boozy
To the Point: this is my second bottle of this ale; I tried
this beer last week and thought, ‘how in the world do I review this bitch’;
sorry I don’t mean to slander you bitches out there; a very uninspiring Tripel
Belgian Style Ale; I expect much better out of Dark Horse Brewery. The only thing good is the 9.5 abv which I can
feel in the head. Not worthy to even
purchase and try.
