Clear, light crimson coloring, slim white head.
In the nose: Sweet and sharp. The tannins, fruit notes, and oak of the red wine barrel come through first. Underneath, the sweetness of the tripel pops out. Barrel's done it's work.
In the mouth: Repeat. Juicy red wine flavors dominate the palate. Barrel flavors have covered up the character of the tripel. Not that I mind. Light-ish bodied, pulsating with the flavors of the barrel. Alcohol strength is roaring up, and spilling all over. Quite tasty. I'm digging this a bunch.
Belgian style Tripel aged in red wine barrels.
