We lovez us some Bourbon! The fact that Allagash was able to blend that flavor perfectly with a delicate style like a Tripel is just amazing. Even Newbeez might love this beer.

Herr Mike- That was one mighty fine brew! Allagash never dissapoints! After quaffing many QCB's at The Devil's Den before, The 11% did creep up on me!
ReplyDeleteA true "Nectar of the Godz"!!!!
Today I drank a 750ml bottle of this. I did not like it nearly as much. It had ZERO head & lacing! The carbonation was too light, so the mouthfeel & drinkability also suffered. Perhaps it was just this bottle? It still smelled & tasted great.
