Oak Aged Tripel
White Birch Brewing
Hooksett, New Hampshire
10.40% ABV
Style: Tripel
C: Cloudy
H: Light Straw Yellow
N: Very light nose with hints of coriander and lemon
The Ferm: Listen I am all for Oak-Aged, Barrel-Aged, Taxadermied Animal-Aged, just about any thing aged on anything. Just please make the beer taste like it was aged on something besides a steel fermentor! PLEASE!
OK, enough about that....partially because the Oak did come through strong on the taste, but light on the nose. This was a surprise because I jumped the gun and was thinking of the rant above when I smelled my glass. Tons of oak on the attack, but yet the beer finishes very smoothly on the rear of the palate. Overall a very good beer. In fact, just about everything I have had from White Birch has been very tasty. They are doing something right up there in NH!
