Description:
It could have been a single, but it’s so much more. This rum barrel aged Belgian Tripel is named for the 3 Bagger -- the true team player, the go-getter, the unabashed risk-taker -- the one who knows when to stretch something good into something even better. Call it experience, call it skill or call it pure animal instinct, the three-bagger knows when his time has come and rises to the occasion. Take your turn with this well balanced golden straw colored ale, which is full of complex fruity esters, dark rum, vanilla and oak flavors. (Description provided by company)

Comments
Beer for wine lovers
Red Brick 3 Bagger is an oak-aged Belgian style triple. It pours yellow gold with a slowly fizzing and full head. The nose is almost like a nice red wine, mostly because of the oakiness imparted from the aging. That’s in the taste as well, but it gives way quickly to the full bodied sweetness of a solid triple (one of my favorite styles) and some dark fruit notes. Not overly hop-centric, but with just enough bite to make it taste like a beer and not juice. Red Brick never disappoints. They do aged beers really well, and 3 Bagger is no exception.
