An interesting beer, would classify this as a bourbon bomb. Musky aroma, with some wood. Flavors of bourbon, oak, vanilla, clove that finishes boozy. Nice mouthfeel, overall a very well made beer.

Allagash curieux ale aged oak bourbon barrels - on tap at Zot in Philly. Appear 4 Aroma 7 Taste 8 Palate 4 Overall 15 Unbelievable lacing - cloudy gold amber and creamy head. Aroma is sweet with lots of oak scents. Taste is smooth also with unbelievable amounts of oak. This is the oakiest beer I have ever tasted. In the end too oaky. Decent but a bit extreme. Did I mention that its oaky??

Sllightly hazed golden pour with creamy white head and lace. Light spice but not much of the bb but a hint. Clovish flavor with a hint of light bannana and a pretty warm abv. Palate and carbonation are solid as a dollar. A nice fruity after taste followed by the nice abv warmth. Very nice beer.

MN Ratebeer Winter Gathering, January 10, 2009. Courtesy of Skyview. Gold color with a thin head. Light spicy nose. Really interesting flavor profile here... Starts with a light bourbon and oaky vanilla. Turns to coconut. Finshes up with banana and yeast. Pretty sweet.

Hazy golden golden. Very big bourbon notes with some oranges, buttery notes and chalkiness in the nose. Big, buttery, boozey and bourbony with some underlying spices. Bourbon lovers indulge. Non-lovers no need to try.

Bottled March 2008. Dark golden color with a very tame whitish cover. Bourbon smoke and wood aroma with undertones of tripel yeasty spices. Taste is even better, nice vanilla oak barrel mellowing on top of a potent spicy tripel. Hints of smoke and alcohol warming in the finish.

Bottle from Wade’s Wines in Westlake Village, CA. I thought the Jim added a sweet and full flavor to this Tripel, while the oak smoothed it out. There were also distinct flavors of pear and apple. Great palate, great taste, very filling... Great brew.
