What would I do without Allagash! What a wonderful brewery!
The Tripel is a wonderful beer: malty and yeasty and flavorful.
Belgian Dubbels were used by the monks as a vehicle for fasting, and I get that. Dubbels are full bodied and malty and comparable to liquid bread (setting aside the high alcohol content).
Tripels, on the other hand, are traditionally drunk during celebrations, like when the Red Sox win the World Series. It was in the aftermath of one of these celebrations that the monks invented the Jesus light switch, pictured here. The Allagash Tripel, by the way, weighs in at 9% alcohol, so a 4-pack of Allagash Tripel is roughly equal (alcohol-wise) to drinking 9 pints of Guiness (or something like that). And if you warm up with an HSA, as I have, you are likely to post offensive material on your blog, as I have. Sorry.
