Sisyphus Barrel-aged Dubbel Trubbel. 8% ABV, 40 IBU. Sisyphus Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.
Deeply crimson colored, utterly opaque, slim, short-lived, beige-ish head.
In the nose: all kinds of big and rich, major doses of dark fruit, plums aplenty, and more from raisins, dates, and let's not forget grapes. Wow, this one has it all, true believers. Depth and complexity all in a row.
In the mouth: Massive malt flavors, rich wine barrel additions. Long lasting flavors, full bodied. So many flavors. Take all those notes from aroma and plop them on the palate. Beautiful blend of red wine barrels and one of my favorite Belgian styles, the abbey triple. This is flat-out tasty. As heck.
I am digging this big-time. Yummy. Delicious. And intoxicating. Oh, yeah.
So, sorry. Don't go looking for this now. It was part of the 4th anniversary line-up. Not on tap now, or ever again. Or, at least, not for a long time. Who knows?
Aged 10 months in Red Wine Barrels.
