Jul 23, 2006 Clear gold. Nose oaky, yeasty, odd character of cheap vodka. Flavor is very yeasty, some bacteria/funk to it. Lightly oaky and sweet. Is very thick, yet somehow not in a bad way, manages to not be cloying but yet have heft. Interesting stuff, good use of the oakiness, doesn’t overpower the beer.

Jul 19, 2006 Ugly yellow-orange color with almost no head. Citrus aroma is the only redeemable quality of this beer. Unbearably strong alcohol and yeast taste. Tastes like really badly fermented apple cider... kinda like vinegar. I don’t think I can even finish this beer.

Jul 16, 2006 Pours a hazy pale with very little head. For a barrel aged beer, there was hardly any aroma or flavor. I’m not sure if the beer had aged past it’s prime, but it wasn’t very good.

Jul 8, 2006 Tart and distasteful. Yelloe and uneventful. No head. Undrinkable after the third sip. This wbeer had aged and settled for 16 months yet it was not a quality brew. Very dissapointed.

Jul 7, 2006 This Abbey Tripel pours a medium orange gold color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is apple juice, bourbon, oak and herbs. Slightly sweet. A medium bodied triple. Malts are fruity and sweet, lots of apple and pear flavors. Nice touch of bourbon and oak, but mostly apple and fruit. The bourbon and oak takes a little of the edge off all that sweetness. A bourbon barrel aged bottle is sort of weird, yet it sort of works. The bourbon and oak are muted, which may be due to this bottle being cellared for few years. Very smooth. Nice level of carbonation. Hides the 9.3% alcohol well. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with a touch of alcohol.

Jul 4, 2006 De richlikebeer. Couleur jaune très brumeuse, peu de collet. Arome d’agrume, vanille et de noix de coco intéressant. Goût aigre-douce de vanille. Pas pire.

Jul 3, 2006 Odd...I rated Merry Monks’ better.
Pours like sparkling apple juice. Sweet/sour fruits apple, pear. Vanilla (oak?) and some dough. The beer is hopped like a belgian ale (I didn’t know the style at the time. I see that it is...) with corriander and cloves. Some interesting combinations. Tartness more apparent toward long sweet & sour finish. I guess the barrel-aging added a lot of depth, but I think it threw the beer out of whack.
