Our Tastes-- Stoudt's Triple


I've bought a bunch of Stoudt's line of beers to try and thought I'd start with this one. The Triple pours a medium candi-sugar brown with a flat head, which is expected with the higher abv beers. The aroma is a deep complex raisin, banana bread. The aftertaste is very distinct with a phenol pheel. Triple,(also Trippel) was once used to describe the highest range of abv monastic bevvies, with enkel and dubbel being the "basic and mid-grade". Made with Two-row and wheat, bittered with Perle and Warrior then aroma additions of Hallertau and Saaz. 9% alcoholic warmth.
