The Belgian Tripel is very similar to the Belgian Strong Dark Ale. It is called a Tripel because it is brewed with up to three times the malt of a standard Belgian Ale. This type of beer would be called a Trappist Ale if it were actually brewed by the Trappist Monks. But, since it isn’t, you can’t call it a Trappist Ale. These are bright gold in color and have a thick dense head. The aroma is spicy, but can be powdery or fruity as well. These tend to be rather high in alcohol. The alcohol content can range from 7.0% to 12.0%.
