Grande Tripel
Grande Tripel offers subtle coffee aromas and a palate of roasted coffee and vanilla. It builds on Ommegang's base Tripel with freshly roasted Utica Coffee and Madagascar vanilla bean. Munich malt, oats and white wheat sit in the grist, with Magnum and Saaz as hops, at 9.0% ABV and 24 IBU. The coffee and vanilla stay deliberately subtle, so the Tripel remains in the lead.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Grande Tripel
Serve at 10–13°C in a goblet. The yeast character and carbonation are the stars — cold would suppress both.
The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
Drink within 2 years. Some complexity develops with age but the yeast character is best relatively fresh.
