Hazy copper brew with a nice eggshell head and solid lacing. Nose is belgian yeast, spices, and oak. This beer takes on the characteristics of the wood more than others. Brews like GI BCS, Founders Kentucky Breakfast, and Top Sail Bourbon Barrel Imp. Porter all soak up the bourbon qualities. Vanilla sweetness with an alcohol burn. Not my favorite but I can appreciate this beer.

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!!!
