Allagash Curieux 4pk Belgian Ale Aged in Bourbon Barrels

Curieux is a barrel-aged Belgian-style ale from Allagash Brewing Company in Portland, Maine, starting with the brewery's classic Tripel — a golden, spiced Belgian ale — before resting in bourbon barrels to add depth and complexity. This barrel-aging process layers vanilla, coconut, and warm bourbon character over the Tripel's already fruity, spicy base, resulting in one of Allagash's most celebrated specialty releases. Expect a nose of vanilla, oak, and ripe fruit, with a palate that combines the Tripel's characteristic spice and dried fruit against a backdrop of bourbon warmth, coconut, and toasted oak, finishing rich, warming, and smooth. It's a sipping beer best enjoyed slowly, ideally in a tulip or snifter glass that concentrates the aromatics. Pair it with roasted pork, aged gouda, or a plate of dark chocolate desserts, where the barrel character can play against rich, savory, or sweet flavors alike. It also makes an excellent substitute for a dessert wine or aged spirit after a meal. For Belgian-style beer fans looking to explore barrel-aged offerings, or anyone wanting to shop craft barrel-aged beer online from a renowned Maine brewery, Curieux is a rich, rewarding choice.
