From the brewer

Allagash Curieux was our first foray into barrel aging. Curieux is made by aging our Tripel Ale in Jim Beam bourbon barrels for eight weeks in our cold cellars. The aged beer is then blended back with a portion of fresh Tripel. The resulting beer is soft with coconut and vanilla notes, with hints of bourbon.

Who's been drinking this

Solid tripel flavor with honey, stonefruit, some murky yeastiness and a bit of candi sugar on top. The finish was kind of astringent, though, and got less and less pleasant over the course of the glass.
A little too subtle for me.
