Toccadibò

◎ Appearance

Toccadibò presents a bright golden hue with excellent luminosity, characteristic of the Belgian Tripel style. The unfiltered, bottle-refermented nature produces a subtle cloudiness from suspended yeast, lending a soft, inviting opacity. A dense, persistent head forms on the pour with fine lacing that clings steadily to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with expressive fruity esters—ripe banana and stone fruit—layered beneath gentle floral notes and a subtle herbaceous character from noble hops. Underlying yeast character adds a bready, slightly honey-touched backdrop, with wispy spice notes that emerge on continued aeration. The aromatic profile evolves in the glass, reflecting the beer's living bottle-conditioned nature.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with fruity sweetness and mild honey notes, quickly balanced by a gentle bitterness and warming spice from the Belgian yeast strain. Mid-palate reveals creamy body with wheat-derived softness, allowing the fruity and floral character to develop fully. Bitterness remains restrained at 30 IBU, permitting the complex yeast expression to dominate without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is moderately long, with fading fruit, honey, and a subtle alcoholic warmth that builds gradually. The aftertaste remains clean and slightly dry, allowing subtle yeast-derived spice to linger without becoming cloying.

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.
