The oak aging in this one adds another layer of sourish complexity. Thick and delicious. Brown sugar sweetness.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Amber with minimal head. Much more fruit flavor and slight sourness compared with the standard triomphe.
2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 11/20
Weak body, Not very "wheaty" either. nice hop profile just wish it had the malt to back it up.

Growler: The aroma consists of light grapefruit, vanilla, and a hint of bubblegum. It pours a transparent amber with a small white head that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The flavor starts with faint bubblegum and Belgian yeast. The finish has light-moderate grapefruit and some faint vanilla notes. It’s light-medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
2.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Draft at HopCat. Barrel ageing doesn’t help this one much. Nice vanilla aroma, but still lacks body and character. Simple not enough malt.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at brewery, pours a clear dark orange amber with a nice white head and lacing through out the entire glass, the aroma is of heavy oak with some citrus hops, really digging the aroma on this one, the flavor has a good amount of oak and vanilla with a hoppy and belgian yeast finish, not bad at all.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at Crunchy’s, East Lansing. Hazy medium orange-brown body, medium clumping cream head with nice lacing. Spicy hops nose of pine needles and bitter spicy candies. Body with sharp tannic, buttery white oak backed by softened bitter hops and toast; little sweetness. Finishes like a fresh white oak core smells. Dry but doesn’t bring a lot of alcohol heat. Pretty good.
