Notes:

Just tasted the sample of this guy and it was AWESOME! I can't wait til Christmas to open one up. I primed with Clear Candi Sugar. Fermented at 64 ambient temp, this guy got up to around 68-69 from fermentation heat.

This beer is really, really good. I just had one. I primed with homemade clear candi sugar, about 3/4 cups in liquid form. It's got a great head that stays for over healf the beer and leaves a nice, complete sliky white layer on top of the beer for the remainder.
 
Dude this is a great beer, had to crack one open tonight. The aroma is amazing, the flavor is greatness. Definitely the best Triple I have ever had. gonna set the other one back for a few months along with the other beer you gave me.(what was that one again?) Great job on this one man:rockin: :mug: Im amazed how well this beer hides the alcohol even when it warms up. I cant stop smelling this one.
 
It's about 7.5%abv I think. The other is my Rochefort 10 clone, I bet you'll like it if the carbonation has gone up since the last one I tried.

Glad you enjoyed the tripel! I'm realllllly enjoying it, I have a bunch left :D :D
 
I am looking forward to brewing this. Could not get the Caravienne so I substitute 20L caramel malt. I hope that does not change the profile too much.

Thanks for posting
 
This recipe looks great,
Any chance to get an extract/steep grain recipe?
Keen to try but not (yet) good enough for an AG...
Thanks
