ALLAGASH CURIEUX ALE

Choice amber-hazed Belgian-styled tripel, aged in Jim Beam bourbon barrels, tethers perfumed yeast sweetness to overripe tangerine-apple tang, tart grape-skinned orange peel bittering and dry Scotch licks. Hiked up coriander-clove-currant spicing, white-peppered herbal dryness, oaken vanilla spell and floral hibiscus-lotus conflux cede to faded cognac finish, where honeyed almond-pecan-coconut serenity placates creamy vanilla cleft. Pinot Grigio wining adds buttery warmth to mindbending elixir.

LA TRAPPE TRIPEL

Delicately complex puffy-headed tan-foamed tripel with clumped Brussels lace and jasmine-perfumed yeast concentration gains strong alcohol penetration up-front. Creamy caramel malt foundation and cereal grain firmness underlined by dried prune, orange peel, and rotted peach. Relaxing finish brings cotton-candied vanilla  jellybean illusion to the forefront.
