About

Bronckhorster Barrel Aged nr 43 is a Tripel matured in Early Times Bourbon barrels, crafted by this independent Dutch brewery in the Achterhoek region. The barrel aging brings depth and warmth to a traditionally elegant strong golden ale. The nose reveals vanilla and crème caramel with subtle hop character. On the palate, a silky texture unfolds with red fruit, vanilla and woody bourbon notes that integrate seamlessly. The finish is warm and dry, with lingering alcohol warmth. At 12% ABV, this is a contemplative beer that rewards slow sipping and reveals its complexity across the tasting arc.
