Brewed by: Troegs Independent Brewing, Hershey, Pennsylvania
Description (from the bottle): "This is the big, malty, and ageable Triple Nator with a bourbon barrel twist. Munich malt, chocolate malt, and Belgian candy sugar deliver deep toffee and complex malt notes, and months in bourbon barrels add hints of toasted coconut, vanilla, and molasses. Put it in a glass or put it in your cellar. The next chapter is yours!"
Would I buy it again? Not an ideal picture there, but oh well. Needless to say, this is an absolutely amazing beer, with all the taste of the previous Triple Nator plus a definite bourbony vanilla feel. I'm not sure if I prefer this one to the normal one, but it's close, and that puts this in my top five beers of all time. Only problem here is the price: It's twice as expensive as the Triple Nator, and that's a lot. $10 for a single bottle of beer is way too much to be anything other than a very occasional splurge. Which is probably fine, it's 14% and dangerously drinkable, just like the normal Troegenator it's based on. If the pit in your wallet didn't stop you from downing way too many, nothing would. It took most of my resolve not to buy as many of these as I could, though I couldn't resist buying one more.
