Curieux is the Barrel Aged version of the Tripel Ale from Allagash. It pours an amber orange color with a thin, filmy head. Aroma is a like a Belgian-style ale with some coriander and slight boozy scent. On the taste, there are definite hints of both banana and coconut. The usual tastes of coriander and orange peel are more of an accent, not the predominant flavors. Mouthfeel is powdery, with a light to medium body. The 11% is well masked, attributable to the barrel aging. But the bourbon and oak do not overwhelm like some barrel-aged beers, however it does come through on the finish. Overall this is simply a high quality BA Tripel from beginning to end.

One of my favorite beers. I can't get it in Colorado, so my cousin in NH mails me some every not and then.

Certainly a fine brew...not something for everyday. For me it is a great special occasion Beer.

This in my opinion is simply the best Tripel anywhere. I have been drinking big beers for years and this is at the top of my list no questions asked. Hard to believe it is 11%, to say it is smooth is an understatement. Highly recommend!
