A classic - Curieux
Allagash Brewing Company
Notes: First brewed back in 2004, Curieux was our first foray into barrel aging. To make Curieux, we take our Tripel and let it age in bourbon barrels for seven weeks. Once that time is up, we take the beer out of our cold cellars and blend it back with a portion of fresh Tripel. The resulting rich, golden ale features smooth notes of coconut, vanilla, and a hint of bourbon.
So good I traded DD four local 750ml bottles of his choice for four of these he found much cheaper in the midwest...Total Wine and Krogers have it here but $17-$18 a piece.
Best side-by-side was tailgating and August brought a new bottle and a five year old bottle of Curieux. The 5-year old was better...
