Allagash Tripel Roselaire

Draft, at BA Night of the Funk. Poured hazy golden with a moderate sized white head. Really enjoyable aroma, with yeast and wheat of the trippel, along with tart, funky, woody flavors picked up from the barrel aging. Complex flavor, with yeast, spice, oak, and funky, earthy yeast. Nice, active carbonation. By far my favorite beer at the fest.

Poured a slightly hazed orange-gold color with a small almost white head. The aroma is complex. Sweet and fruity with notes of pears and honey dew melon. Nice background of white wine, wood and leather. The flavor is also complex but not as much. Nice vinous notes with pear and other fruits. Mild tartness. Light to medium body and a touch of acidity on the tail. The only downside to this beer is the price. Aprox $6 for 10oz and $30 for a growler.

Poured a hazy golden color with a small, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of vanilla oak, citrus fruits, spicy yeast, brett, white grapes, and leather. Taste of citrus fruits, lighter Tripel spices, oak, vanilla, and a lightly sour finish, with no alcohol at all. Thanks to TomDecapolis and goldtwins for setting this one up!

Bottle fill from growler station at Shoreline Beverage: Slightly hazy golden with a thin bubbly white head. Aroma is oaky, herbal, cheesy (touch of Gouda), mild brett funk, and a Calvados character. Very complex nose. Has a fairly slick texture. The flavor is not sour, but has lots of complexity. Elegant oak presence with an underlying subtle sweet note of vanilla. as some lactic cheesy notes, mild Brie cheese, herbal hints, apple cinnamon/baked apple products comes through as it warms, followed by residual oakiness into the finish. Complex and outstanding.
