Mar 22, 2009 Updated: Apr 13, 2009Every time I have this I like it more and more. A nice tart and sour taste and a nice citrus and tart aroma. Nice and dry, awesome.

Mar 21, 2009 Bottle of batch 23 shared at the Smoke from the Oak release. Pours a hazy gold with a thin white head. Nice lemon and citrus aromas with a nice soft malty wheat back to it. Thick bodied and sweet with honey, citrus, sweet fruit, and malt notes. Tangy crisp finish. I was very happy to have gotten to sample this one, and it lived up to my expectations quite well.

Mar 20, 2009 First pour was dregs from a shared beer...all yeast. Had to get a some from another glass. Still very cloudy and bright gold. It still has all the tropical flavors that I expect from a tripel and it is rather mellow but not very woody. Still very solid.

Mar 19, 2009 Huge thanks to durhambeer for sharing this beauty - rock on, Bob! I heart regular Damnation, and I had long wondered if this experiment would complement or undermine the great beer. Definitely the former! As a tripel, it retains its sharp and yeasty qualities. There are more sweet flavors in there for sure, at times even slightly intense, leading to a somewhat boozy finish. But somehow that works, especially when combined with the oak and spice presence. Nice!

Mar 19, 2009 Thanks to bob for sharing this one. Cloudy bright gold pour with a fluffy white head and spotty lace. Lemon, yeast, and spice. Medium bodied with notable hints citrus, candi sugar and light alcohol. Oak was not as prominent as I hoped, but still a solid offering

Mar 19, 2009 Thanks durhambeer for sharing. Pours a hazy honey gold with a one finger offwhite head. The nose is yeasty, peppery, fruity, oaky, mildly tannic. Flavor is yeasty, peppery, nice and spicy, citrusy, mild bitterness, oaky tannic feel. Prefer the original to this. Still nice though. Not much oak comes through though.

Mar 18, 2009 On tap at the brewery. This golden ale poured with a fluffy white head and a candy aroma. There is a sweet caramel malt flavor and some nice effects from the yeast. The hopping balanced the sweetness, creating a quite delicious mouthful. Yet another great beer from this brewer.

Mar 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy golden amber with a decent white head. Nose is candy sugar, spicy yeast, and oak. Taste is similar, but with more caramel and a little tobacco. The oak wasn’t as big as I had hoped. Mouthfeel is nice; finish is bitter and slightly smoky.
