ALLAGASH CURIEUX TRIPEL 橡木桶陳釀 12盎司 4瓶裝

Poured this one expecting a standard tripel, but the 8 weeks in Jim Beam barrels gives it a rich, mellow vanilla note that plays perfectly with the yeast. The blend with fresh tripel keeps it from being too heavy, so it’s surprisingly smooth for the ABV.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from a tripel aged in Jim Beam barrels, but the eight weeks in oak really shines through without overwhelming the yeast character. The blend with fresh tripel keeps it balanced and dangerously drinkable for 12oz bottles.

The blend of fresh and barrel-aged Tripel gives it a unique depth—smooth vanilla notes from the Jim Beam barrels without being too boozy. I was surprised how well the 8 weeks in oak mellowed the carbonation. Perfect for sipping slowly on a cool evening.
