Paix Dieu Triple

From the very first sip, the taste of alcohol is unmistakable. The scent is equally dominated by a strong presence of alcohol, which overwhelms everything else. It takes center stage, overshadowing all other aromas. As if that weren't enough, this alcohol carries a flavor... of wood. Drinking this beer feels like having a wooden stave from a barrel on your tongue. And not the pleasant, warm kind of wood, but rather a crude one soaked in alcohol. It's a 10% ABV beer, but it feels like there's much more.
