4.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Fantastic Triple that has been aged in Jim Beam barrels. Beautiful golden coloring, pours with a very light carbonation and a white head that dissipates quickly. Oaky aroma with a definite bourbon addition, light carmel scenting with a tad bit of vanilla. Drinks wonderfully, the bourbon lands itself nicely on the palate while still letting this already great triple shine through. You can taste the bite of the alcohol, but it’s by no means a boozy beer. Great vanilla and bourbon aftertaste. A must have in my book.

Pours hazy yellow. Nose is slightly oxidized, fruits, heavy phenols, hops, liquor and wood. Flavor is spicy, barrels, vanilla, caramel, fruits, and slightly stale malt flavors. Medium body. interesting beer.

Given to me as a gift by my friend Nate over 5 months ago for my birthday, enjoyed while watching the Professional on Blu-Ray at a friends house. This stuff was fantastic. Appearance slightly cloudy gold with rich off white head. Aroma of bourbon, light hay, slight maltt, mostly bourbon but its nicely subdued. Taste is smooth from the bourbon, has a light hay quality, a small crispness, has a wood/barrel aged quality to it, really complex and balances out to a great flavor. I don’t know what else to say, this stuff is awesome. Kinda surprised this was actually an Abbey Tripel, didn’t notice many Belgian notes from this but this blended so well.

This is a great one. Thanks Reg! Woody nose, with well blended flavors of triple like fruits and a nice honey sweetness. Don’t think the bourbon really came thru that strong. Very smooth, with a good mouthfeel. I would search for this one again. Clean finish.

Bottled April 2011 smell of coriander and citrus. Not as strong bourbon as years previous very sparce lacing....light amber in color easy drinking overall

750 ml bottle poured into my Allagash chalice. Clear orange with a rather large soupy white head. Mediocre spotty lacing sticks to a portion of the glass. Big bourbon aroma with the Belgian yeast sneaking in. Coriander, citrus and spices all play a role. The flavor are dominated by the bourbon. I don’t think this base beer can stand up to the bourbon. Way to hot. Allagash tripel alone is a wonderful beer, just think the bourbon is too much. Maybe some age will mellow this beer.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
750 ml corked and caged bottle. Pours a vibrant amber color with a small head that leaves some lacing on the glass. This beer smells amazing; oaky vanilla, bourbon, dark fruits, and alcohol heat. Taste starts with very dark fruits that eases into an onslaught of bourbon and vanilla. There is slight hop bitterness that allows the complexity of this brew to be rounded out. Mouthfeel is very silky and quite enjoyable. Phenomenal brew cheers!
