Pour is a thick looking murky brown with a small white head. Aroma is a minor oak, some caramel and maybe a little sourness as well as alcohol. Flavor is a nice fresh oak but there is a big alcohol presence after that. Finish is neither sweet or sour but there is a big warming sensation after each sip from the alcohol. I don’t get much of a tripel aspect from this, it’s more of a American strong ale with some bourbon barrel flavor.

Bottle shared by Eddy. Pours clear pale copper color with off white head. Aromas of bourbon, oak, caramel, and yeast. Big bourbon flavor with some caramel sweetness, oak, and dough. Medium to full body with minimal carbonation and a syrupy mouthfeel.

Poured from a bottle it is a hazy effervescent caramel colored beer. It has the aroma of butterscotch. The taste is black licorice and a hint of peppermint that lingers on the palate

From A 75 CL bottle shared at home. Pours a hazy gold with an off white head. Aroma of caramel. Flavors bourbon dominate. Not finding much Belgian influence here. But pretty tasty anyway.

Too much barrel washes out most of the character here. Tastes of whiskey with light coriander and some booze. Pours cloudy orange without much head or lacing. Bitter, wooden finish here. Tap at rustico ballston.

Draft at Smoke and Barrel in DC. Poured a clear amber color, small off-white head. Aroma was notes of sweet malts, some notes of barrel and bourbon. Sweet fruit character. Pretty good.

Bottle. Cloudy golden orange color, thin white head that settles quickly. Aroma of orange peel, light spice, grapefruit. Taste is whiskey, orange juice. Interesting.

Thanks to Armin for this one - fizzy, lightly hazy rust color - seems to have picked up some color from the barrel - well, the aroma sure took a lot from the barrel - all I can smell is bourbon, vanilla, coconut, toasted oak - no tripel character at all - taste is much the same - there is some candi sugar and floral character, but the bourbon adds a sweet booziness and covers up the yeast character - very hot finish - messy.
