Brasserie de la Senne has gone back in craft beer time to collaborate We on a new beer, Pete’s Wicked Tripel. That name should sound familiar because it is Pete Slosberg. The Pete of Pete’s Wicked Ale fame from way back in the day. Slosberg is into chocolate now so the beer a Tripel with cacao nibs.
The description sounds very nuanced and layered, “The result is a very complex and at the same time highly drinkable beer, despite having 8 ABV. At first in the aromas we find touches of green coffee. They blend with the fruity fermentation aromas, a beautiful maltiness and a touch of citrus. Secondly, the cacao will develop in the after taste, in all its complexity, warmth and length. The cacao nibs also played a part in the interesting full texture of the beer.”
