Can from tfontana, as pictured, drunk 11/14/25. Thanks, Tom!
A touch of alcohol is about the only thing that detracts here. Otherwise, is rich and fruity with bright, clear, deep bourbon and almost a port-like note. Grapey and with light vanilla and licorice. Strong but not sharp or hot. Malts show some fudge, raisin and gooey cake but no excessive sugar.
Rich, sumptuous malts have heft and chew but no syrup or excess sugar. Maple, vanilla, big bourbon and lots of raisin, grape and plum. Bright and boisterous stuff. It's rich and strong but doesn't feel so heavy on account of the bright fruit and playful bourbon.

Mixed review can and 4 oz. draft as part of flight at brewery. Opaque, milky yellow, nice head, light rings of lacing.Aroma is strong citrus, grapefruit. Taste is strong citrus, grapefruit, creaminess. Creamy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste with alcohol detectable in the can in a way it was not on draft (I always feel it's damn hard to make a good Triple but these guys nailed it! Alcohol completely hidden--you could suck down several of these (on draft)). Very nice!!
