Mar 30, 2007 tap. Pours with a golden color. Very nice head. Aromas of botrubon and fruit but mainly bourbon. Flavors start out with a heavy dose of bourbon, later one gets orange, bread and some spices. Nice mouthfeel, nice finish with just a bit of alcohol

Mar 29, 2007 On tap at City Beer Store. Opaque neonish yellow, curieux-ly sour aroma (sorry) with some scotch whisky. A bit of Jim Beam in the taste but not overpowering, some lemon, yeast. Weird combination of bland and interesting, I’ll probably buy a bottle of this to try again.

Mar 28, 2007 Bottle, corked and caged. Poured a slighly hazy golden color with a thin white head. Aromas of spice and hay. i was expecting some oak or bourbon notes, but sure didn’t find them in the aroma....nor in the taste. This just tasted like a regular triple to me, I don’t get any oak or bourbon anywhere. I was a really good triple, but I was expecting some more complexity.

Mar 26, 2007 Bottle from PP Belgian Beer Fest. More sour on the aroma than in the flavor. The flavor was a little bitter but with nice citrus notes in the finish. Some alcohol in the finish as well. I think I liked this one better than the Interlude

Mar 26, 2007 Hazy, uniformly dark orange. Some very nice, soft foam foats to the top. Small bead lacing. Aromas are light, a little raisin, some oak, some butterscotch (which really comes out on the tasting). One can definitely taste the whiskey. Long, raisiny finish. Plenty of butterscotch at the end, too. Some fruit remins in this beer, but most is lost to the aging. Mellow and wholly pleasant, if a bit muddled. Good effort.

Mar 15, 2007 June 2006 bottle. Aged 8 months. Pours a bright golden amber into a tulip. Medium head quickly recedes to skim surface. Strong bourbon and oak aromas. Upfront sweet malt and a lasting bourbon alcohol burn. I like bourbon...I like tripels...quite an enjoyable melding of the two.

Mar 14, 2007 Draft. Aroma was very much of hard alcohol (aged in jim beam barrels). Flavor was also dominated by the jim beam flavor, and I was disappointed that it didn’t have other noticable flavors.

Mar 14, 2007 Poured a clear gold; medium white head. Aroma and flavor had distinct bourbon characteristic; almost too much. Triple flavors were muted.
