Pours hazy, orange/golden color with thin white head. Aroma of oak, spice and slight notes of bourbon. Medium mouthfeel. Taste of bourbon and peppery spices. Not a big tripel fan, but the oak and bourbon balance this one out nicely.

2004 Bottle shared by Indra. Pours an opaque orange with a thin skin of creamy white head. The nose is a big woody bourbon barrel with a sweet, slightly sour malt backing; this one is completely different from any other barrel-aged beer that I’ve tried. Medium-bodied and oily-slick with a woody and lightly tart finish. Sweet, fruity malt under a solid, woody bourbon barrel. This one is quite nice. I wouldn’t have thought to barrel-age a tripel, but it works. Thanks for sharing this one with us, Eric.

On tap at Green Dragon in Portland, OR--Poured a hazy golden-slightly orange body with a small wispy off-white head. Complex oaken, crisp, nutty, grassy, boozy bourbon nose. Biting yeastiness with a delicious finish. Yum!!!

750 ml bottle courtesy of Indra. December 2004 Vintage. Pour is slightly hazed golden capped with a smallish off white head. Visible carbonation. Aroma of oak, some of the bourbon and some interesting spiciness. Taste is sweet, yeasty and grassy. A lot of oak and bourbon in the finish. Earthiness in the aftertaste. Interesting, but dominated by the oak and barrel. Thanks for sharing this one Eric!
