Curieux (French for "curious") is a Belgian-style triple that's been aged in bourbon barrels. It pours cloudy gold with a nice head and quite a lot of bubbles. The nose is gorgeous, almost like a wheat beer with banana, cloves, and oranges.
The taste is spicy! Really spicy. I think that's the bourbon coming through from the aging. This beer is for sipping. Even if it weren't 11% alcohol, I'd want to take it easy with this beer, to really savor it. The taste lingers on the roof of the mouth after every drink. It's really good, and it took a while to get through the bottle.
The next time you're at Costco, check the beer selection. Try something new. They weren't all $10+. There were also a few different Firestone Walker brews for $5.99.
