Barrel aged oat pilsner saison.
Triptych #3 is the original oat pilsner brewed in collaboration with Le Trou du Diable, a brewery based in Quebec, Canada. We use the same floor-malted barley, golden naked oats and French hops as Triptych #1, but we barrel age it for over 100 days in Sauvignon Blanc barrels with added maple syrup and Le Trou du Diable's L'Ours sour saison.

500ml swing top bottle. Golden colour, white foam head leaving lacing and aroma of wood barrel, citric zest, funky. Taste is malt, grain, woody barnyard funk, citrus rind, with some tangy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry woody finish. Nicely drinkable.

I drank this beer in April. I rated it in April. My rating doesn't exist anymore, if it ever did. This may be my fault but given that Ratebeer is unable to reliably fulfill it's most basic function of rating a beer, I am pretty fucking sure it's Ratebeers fault. Thanks again for the vast improvements made to this site over the last few years, it really enthuses one to carry on using it. From memory it was a good Pilser come Saison, dry and fairly spciy. I recall that maple and chardonnay elements were only quite light and I think could have been bolder. It was decent but not a patch on #2, which was a delight. This memory rate is brought to you courtesy of Ratebeer, perhaps it should be called Ratebeerfrommemory!

Bottle ordered from the brewery. Aroma combines sweet maple with a fruity sour edge. Unlike #2 the maple when it comes to the maple, makes me think of yoghurt. Slightly cloudy copper gold. Middling creamy white head. Initial medium-heavy sour. Fruity and vinous. Hints of sweetness. It's only now that I'm halfway through the bottle that it occurs to me that there is a low key oaty creaminess through the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-soft carbonation. Long astringent finish with some dryness. It must be taking on facets from the sour Saison. After the dose of maple in the stoma it's surprisingly peripheral in the taste. Enjoyable fruity sour.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Light haze on a pale amber. Fine, semi lacing, white head. Nose has grassy, floral herb. Maple syrup. Sweet ginger biscuit malt. Some nutty notes. Behind all that there’s some leathery, lemony, bretty funk. Smells pretty unusual overall. Taste is tart, sweet, and a little sour in decent measure. Mouthfeel is a tad flabby, probably down to the very low carbonation. Bittersweet and a little sour on the finish. Decent. A bit more pop on the palate and this’d be up with the other two of these.
