500ml bottle from Durham Brewery. Golden colour, white foam head and aroma of herbs, spice, zesty fruit, yeast. Taste is bready malt, herby, mint, spiced, yeasty, hay, with some currant fruity notes and earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying herbal tangy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A long time since I have had a Durham brew! Near clear gold beer, small bubbly off white head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Buttery oaky tinged light malts, a thin creamy sweetness and a whisper of oak induced vanilla. Nice brandy soaked ripe fruits, touch of unsweet marmalade. Light finish. The barrelling has kinda overwhelmed the base tripel, not sure anyone would care. Nice brandy barrel brew!

Panda thanks to Cloin. Clear deep amber brown beer, small bubbly dark tan head. Fairly light palate for a beer of this hefty. A mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Good dark chocolate malts, pretty cocoa and fair serving of earthy coffee with it. The rum barrelling is pretty light. A little boozy ripe fruity goodness but, coulda shoulda been a lot more in my book. Fairly light and semi dry finish. Yeah, a very solid base beer, bolder barrelling would have suited it. A lot.
