    These look to be duplicate beer entries possibly (same ABV, same descriptions even) but, yeah, the new label is barrel aged in Carolus Single Malt Barrel whereas the above two are "enriched by an infusion of Gouden Carolus Single Malt whisky". I think the latter is adding whisky to the finished beer before packaging??

    2020 Saint Lamvinus from Cantillon. This is an incredible beer fresh and fantastic when aged. Super sour and tart. Lots of fresh berries. Love it.

    Agreed. The first two are duplicates and I just merged them. The new release seems different so it should be a different entry.

    Simple with weak flavor intensity, but still refreshing.

    I am getting into a Gin Barrel Tripel acquired as part of the Sierra Nevada FOTF club. Have to say this is really well made. Gin is so overwhelming flavor wise, but the SN team did a great job imparting the slightest degree of the barrel to compliment a nicely made Tripel (which i enjoyed the base version at the last FOTF gathering in March). Rated 4.24
    Cheers!

    Staying in the Belgian realm and getting into a Duvel. This was my gateway beer to better beers many many years ago. Holds up to the test of time.
    Cheers!

    Shy Bear Brewing (PA) - Gnosis

    Belgian style Quadruple. Not a bad effort but a bit sweet for my preference.

    Just got an email from Sierra Nevada indicating 240 bottles are available online for $20. If you have disposable income, it is worth it.
    Cheers!

    I might have to grab one, as long as the gin isn't too overwhelming! I'm not a fan of gin.
