Tripel Abdijbier Dendermonde

11.2 oz bottle from Tower on Piedmont, Atlanta, GA, USA. Probably an older bottle but it should hold up OK. We’ll see.
The pour is an attractive golden body with some decent lace and retention. The carbonation is rather good.
Somewhat sweet nose, but obviously in keeping with the style.
The beer does have some musty notes (possibly age), but the alcohol and white pepper come through nicely. Just about what I would expect for the style. The brew flirts with some cloying sweetness, and the pepper fades to yield sugar but it JUST about holds it together.
I’d like to drink a bottle of this that I KNEW was fresh, but for now this will have to do. It hits a decent note for the style, and although nowhere near my favorite I feel relatively happy with it.
