A 8% Belgian Style Ales Style Abbey Tripel from Belgium,usually available at The Blackfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth, FB: BlackfriarsTavern

Floreffe Triple owes its name to its high density and strong taste. The
splendid mixture between bitterness and caramel characterises this beer.
Like other beers made in Floreffe Abbey, it is not filtered. It may
therefore be slightly cloudy if served cold. As the monks’ recipe
specifies, it is refermented in the bottle with yeast and sugar.As a terrible punishment, any monk arriving too late for prayers or in the
refectory would not get his beer entitlement.
