Taxman Peach Brandy Barrel Exemption Tripel

Taxman Peach Brandy Barrel Exemption Tripel.

Belgian-style tripel ale brewed with spices and aged in brandy barrels. 


9% ABV, 30 IBU. Taxman Brewing, Bargersville, IN. 

Hazed, nearly opaque, peach-hued, under a slim white head. 

In the nose: bubblegum, banana, orange, spices. And peaches?

In the mouth: Peach brandy barrels? That's a new one for me. All wrapped over a tripel, huh? Sweet stuff, fruity, then dry. Booze rings high. Belgian tripel character swallowed up by barrel flavors. Bubblegum bumps up against brandy barrel, peach in the middle. Funky Belgian yeast action mixes it all up. 

A very interesting beer, richly rewarding. Two thumbs up. Quite tasty. 

Unlock the Vault, our barrel series committed to the careful, prolonged conditioning and blending of barrel-aged ales. This crisp golden ale unites lemon, orange peel and coriander spices with flavorful Belgian esters, which blend brilliantly with bright, tangy notes of peach brandy barrels. Enjoy immediately or store under lock and key.
