COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
We turned our regular Damnation recipe into a Tripel. It is bittered with Tomahawk and has Sterling and Cascade in the mid-boil and finish. The beer was then aged on new American oak chips for two to three weeks.

UPDATED: FEB 5, 2012 Pour out of 375 mL bottle, big thanks to Caleb and Jeff/Bacterial for the pour. Nice hazy yellow pour with nice white head, aroma has notes of biscuit, yeast, slight bready lemon, hints of oak, toffee, nice pils malt. Taste is a nice mix of slight oak, biscuit, some slight toffee, slight yeasty notes, finishing fairly dry. Nicely done.

hazy orange-golden with small eggy head. slightly sweeter than normal. Citrusy notes, fruity malt along with alcohol. Bitter slight alcoholic finish. indeed a stronger slightly more complex version of damnation. Still very nice!

arkurzynski (716) - West Bend, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 29, 2012
Batch 23 sample at Central Waters release party. Hazy and a tad more yellow-amber than the original version. Aroma of citrus, acidic tang, light vanilla, mild spice, and faint oak. Flavor is tart lemon citrus, some spicy hop bitterness in the middle, and vanilla and light oak in the finish. Carbonation makes palate slightly creamy. Crisp tart finish. Only slightly better than original.

magdalar (291) - Zurich, SWITZERLAND - JAN 28, 2012
Bottle, 375ml, batch 69. Pours a cloudy orange with a bit white head. Smells primarily of phenols, with some citrus, tartness, and spice. Taste is spicy, with a heavy sweetness, some brett sourness, fruitiness, and lots of malt. Medium bodied. Medium carbonation. Creamy texture. Finishes tingly, with some fruity tartness. Quite tasty.

Butters (2834) - Richmond, Virginia, USA - JAN 24, 2012
Sampled at the Day After Thanksgiving Tasting 2011. Very small sample poured a deep clear golden hue. Very bitter triple. A little yeasty funk. Honestly, I didn’t really find it all that appealing.
