Beer Alternatives
hopIQ found 10 beers with the same fruity and vanilla character as Curieux. Allagash's first foray into barrel-ageing, first brewed in 2004. The Tripel is aged in bourbon barrels for six to eight weeks, then blended back with fresh Tripel — resulting in a rich, golden ale with smooth notes of coconut, vanilla, and a hint of bourbon. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
