Commercial Description:
We turned our regular Damnation recipe into a Tripel. It is bittered with Tomahawk and has Sterling and Cascade in the mid-boil and finish. The beer was then aged on new American oak chips for two to three weeks.

Murky appearance. Woody, slightly boozy aroma with distinct notes of firm, malty and briskly-hopped tripel. Firm and warming from the alcohol. Some oak character, and fairly robust hop accents. Fun, but maybe not the best output from RR.

Bottle at RBSG grand tasting, sketchy notes - I was surely getting drunk but someone VERY kind gave me some of this - thanks a lot :) Smooth aroma. Spiced and caramel also in the flavour and slight woody and spiced finish.

(11/3/07, 750ml bottle, thanks eclectic) Small off-white head, hazy straw body. Aroma is medium sweet, floral, yeasty, light brett. Taste is medium sweet, yeast, lemon, floral, alcohol warming. Medium-full body, moderately creamy, light acidity.

Bottle sampled on 9/15/07: Pours a transparent deep golden with a wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of earthy musty oaky, doughy and sweet caramely Belgian malt and yeast. Body starts fairly full and malty with good grassy slightly funky complexity and nice oaky woody balance toward a slightly warming enjoyable finish. Very nice and quite drinkable.
