Jan 9, 2008 Tried at PP bottle shop during Logan’s tasting. Large 750mL bottle ($16) bought generously by Jon. A whole table of beer fell to the groud and broke, except this bottle. I got the foamy dregs out of it. Lots of oak. Mellow flavor. Cloudy yellow. Delicious.

Jan 7, 2008 750ml - Bottled Feb 2006 - Aroma of bourbon, oak, vanilla and yeast. Pours transparent gold with a very small head and decent lacing. Flavor is bourbon, oak, vanilla, peat, subtle spice and tropical fruit. Alcohol is there but not too bad. Palate is sticky. Not bad, but nothing really that special to warrant the price.

Jan 7, 2008 Cloudy, peachy orange, lasting head. Oak, bourbon and coconut in aroma. Honey, brown sugar and cracker. Rather sweet, some tea notes finishing. Hoppy, nuanced finish.

Jan 4, 2008 Cask at Blind Tiger. Cask does this beer well, providing it with an incredibly smooth, buttery oakiness that is as evident in bottled samples. Palate is super-smooth, and this beer is real easy to put down. Not too much complexity, but fruity, bready notes are apparent.

Dec 29, 2007 The Duvel Tulip I picked out for this sampling seemed very appropriate, as Allagash Curieux came out foamy, pale, and slightly cloudy. The smell was clean and elegant. I could detect a faint hint of vanilla in the nose, but not much Bourbon. The taste was sweet and soothing, but a little too simple considering the barrel aging process. Not much in the way of oak flavors here, but based on my recollection, this came across a lot smoother than the Tripel. The alcohol was well hidden except for the warmth. A little flourish of hops was all that I could detect. Soft and creamy in the mouth, and aftertaste lingered on.

Dec 27, 2007 Sampled at GABF 2007. Oh boy, this is a hottie. Dark purple brown color with a medium beige head. The bourbon in the nose bitch-slapped me. This is all alcohol. It simply dehydrates your tongue. If you like bourbon, and I do, this is a winter warmer.

Dec 25, 2007 On Tap at the Trappist in Oakland, CA. Big malty, spicy, estery nose. I would have never guessed that this was aged in Bourbon barrels. Wonderful malt & yeast complexity in the flavor. Reminds me of the nice flavors from the Westmalle yeast strain at low temps with some fresh bread flavor. Very enjoyable.
