Allagash Curieux

I wasn't sure what to expect from the Curieux from Allagash brewing, which is a bourbon barrel aged Tripel.  It is pretty high in alcohol at 11%, so I figured it would be pretty strong.

The bottle was a high end cork type bottle, like champagne and it was pretty impressive.

The beer poured a nice light golden brown and he aroma was a bit like a Belgian Ale, but you could definitely smell the hint of bourbon.

The taste was, well, interesting.  I am not sure how else to put it.  It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either.  I was sharing it with several other folks and none of us were really sure what to make of this beer.  Overall I would have to say it was a bit disappointing, but only because it was so hard to figure out.  You should try it just to understand what I mean.

I give it 2.5 out of 5 hops!
