> Beerknurd Holiday Advent Calendar December 15th: Allagash Curieux

Style:Belgian Tripel
Brewer:Allagash Brewing Co.
Portland, ME
Country:United States
Container:Bottle
ABV:10.2%
Description:A refined Belgian-style tripel that blends Old World brewing tradition with New World creativity. It pours a hazy golden-amber with a soft, creamy white head, immediately releasing inviting aromas of ripe pear, green apple, vanilla, and subtle oak. The beer’s character comes from aging in bourbon barrels, which adds gentle notes of honey and a whisper of warm spice without overpowering the base beer. On the palate, Curieux is smooth and complex, balancing lightly sweet malt flavors with delicate fruity esters and a restrained bourbon warmth. Hints of caramelized sugar, oak, and soft vanilla mingle with a mild herbal bitterness, leading into a dry, elegant finish that keeps the beer remarkably drinkable despite its strength. 10.2% ABV
