Barrel & Bean starts its life as our Tripel—a Belgian-style golden ale. We age that beer in bourbon barrels for just shy of two months, before blending it with cold-brewed coffee from Speckled Ax, a Maine coffee roaster. The sun-dried Ethiopian beans in the coffee are known for their stone fruit and dark berry flavors. The finished beer features rich notes of caramel, bourbon, and coffee.

12oz bottle at my daughters in Laguna Hills; my nightcap on 16th January 2022. Slight haze to the golden body, white topping. Coffee esters with a Belgian yeasty nose, taste a pretty weird coffee flavoured Tripel, took me a while to sort myself and the beer out, add the booziness and the Bourbon twist for good measure and I had only just began to like it when the bottle was empty! OK as a one off, although interesting, it did test my senses, in a strange way.

--Bottled, from Systembolaget. --Almost clear golden, firm creamy head. Distinct aroma of Ethiopian coffee. Mid sweet with medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Some grain and marzipan, hidden behid the coffee, bourbon shows up and brings a peppery finish. An elegant base beer, perhaps the flavouring gets a bit much.

Gyllengul klar vätska med vitt skumlock. Sädig, degig doft med en klick av smör. Smaken levererar annan upplevelse med kaffebönor. Förvånande låg maltsötma och med en ordentligt maskerad alkoholstyrka. Men ännu en gång försöker jänkarna göra sin tolkning av ett belgiskt öl.
