Allagash Curieux Belgian-Style Golden Ale (pack of 4) (35.5cl, 10.2%)

Allagash Curieux is a 10.2% bourbon-barrel-aged Belgian-style golden ale from Allagash Brewing Company of Portland, Maine, first brewed in 2004. The brewery's Tripel spends about seven weeks in freshly emptied bourbon barrels, then is blended back with fresh Tripel so the oak stays in balance. It is golden and lively, with the Tripel's pear and spice yeast character deepened by vanilla, light oak and honeyed malt. The barrel presence is firm but never hot or woody, and the finish is dry and warming.
