Le Trou du Diable's La Buteuse Brassin Spécial is a Tripel from Shawinigan, Quebec, aged in calvados casks. Named World's Best Belgian Style Tripel at the 2013 World Beer Awards, this beer showcases the brewery's commitment to bold, expressive brewing. Fermented with three yeast strains, it delivers layered complexity.

The beer pours golden-amber with a generous white head. Aromas of apple cider, pears and brandy-soaked oak mingle with subtle spice. The palate balances sweet apple pie character with earthy, vegetal notes and oak influence, revealing hints of apricot and the warmth of calvados aging. Effervescent and well-crafted, it drinks deceptively smooth for its 10% ABV.
