Pike Brewery "Monks Uncle"

My wife was kind enough to bring me back a few souvenir beers from local breweries in Seattle. One of them was Monks Uncle, a tripel made by Pike. (http://www.pikebrewing.com/beers_PikeMonksUncle.shtml)
Outstanding beer. Great complexity, nice floral aromas and highly drinkable. I'm looking forward to trying more of their products whenever I get a chance to visit.
