From the label“You know how it goes, one second you're drinking a 9% tripel, and next thing you know, you're out on the porch yelling at strangers, THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK. This salt 'n pepper tripel masquerades as a well-behaved Belgian table beer, then cleans your clock with a blast of spicy peppercorn and pink Himalayan sea salt. Surprise! You just got shotgun banged. NOW GET OFF MY PROPERTY.”
