Three Floyds St Barniburus Trippel

Tap: 5-30-06. Dark ruby-mahogany, decent off-white head. Aroma is full of dark fruit, residuel sugar and faint smoky malt. Flavor tons of raisin, fig, prune. Huge residuel sweetness through the middle. Faint banana near finish. Big body, creamy-smooth mouthfeel. Very nice....quad?

from memory, on tap at 3F summer of 06, poured surprisingly dark with small white head. nose of dark fruit and belgian candy sugar. flavor had more dark fruits, plums, raisins, some spices, chocolate, and a alcohol finish. this didn’t come off very tripel like which was obviously the point from "it’s not normal" but whatever, i wasn’t that into this but would be willing to give it another try.

Pours a clear dark amber color with a thin offwhite head. Good and surprising aroma of fruits, spices and chocolate. The body is light with a powdery texture and moderate carbonation. Nicely done.

Growler courtesy of Pickles @ Three Floyds Pub. #100. Much darker than previous tripels I’ve encountered. A lot going on. Enjoyed with the Czar & CB. Deep reddish brown in color with sweet raisin plumy flavor. Very well done.

12oz bottle hand bottle traded by Duane! - Thanks! Pours dark brownish ruby with a short tan head that fades fast but leaves a little lacing. Nice full aroma of yeast, raisins, plums, and other dark fruits blended with caramel malts and some candi sugar. Pleasant smooth flavor of raisin, caramel, some yeast, pears, plums, and even some bannana. Palate is sticky sweet yet smooth and easy to drink. No sign of the alcohol except the warmth at the dry finish. Beautiful tripel and another fine beer from this brewer..

Draught: Dark ruby brown color and a medium light brownish head. Sweet, fruity aroma with raisins, Belgian yeast, plums and sugar coated grains. Flavours were very unique with reminders of a traditional Belgian style Trippel and a brand new crazy 3F trippel: spicy pears, bananas and cloves on the traditional side and apricot brandy, sweet minerals and hops on the 3F side. Overall a fun and tasty beer and one that makes me believe that Barnaby is having a good influence on the folks in Hammond! Thanks.

from a growler, courtesy of rooftoprogue at a recent tasting, thanks Rob. leave it to 3F to brew up an "in your face" tripel. sweet aroma, spiced apples, pears, honey and alcohol. flavors of the same spiced fruit with yeast and plenty of candi sugar to make this sticky on the lips. a little too sweet for me.

RooftopRogue shared this with a few of us. Thanks Rob! Not really my first choice of style, but an interesting beer nonetheless. Some alcohol in the nose, and a ton of malts. Taste was all the same with nothing but sweet malts on the tongue. Interesting style of beer.
