That's because you hadn't BEGUN Trial and Tribulations yet. If you have that quest in your que, you have to finish it before he'll give you the key. Since you hadn't even talked to Aldous to start it, that step was unnecessary. Also note that starting quests won't result in sq failure, but rather finishing them does that. In other words, starting T &T/Griffin's Bane won't fail any quests, but finishing them might.
