COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Allagash Black, our new Belgian style stout, is brewed with German 2 row barley, Torrified wheat and oats, balanced by a large addition of Belgian dark candi to give the Black a full and silky mouthfeel. Roasted malts give this stout its classic chocolate, toast and malty taste, and contribute to chocolate notes and a hint of roasted coffee in the aroma. The Black is fermented with a Belgian yeast strain and refermented in the bottle with the methode champenoise to make this beer truly unique. Availability: 750 ml bottles, 5.17 gal kegs ABV: 7.5% Original Gravity: 1.072 Recommended Serving Temperature: 55°F Recommended Cellaring Temperature: 55°F

750ml bottle. Poured a dark black color with a small brown head. Aroma was roasted coffee, dark chocolates. Flavor was roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, and notes of dried fruits and Belgian yeast. A nice, complex stout.

Tried this the first time at a sponsored beer dinner. One of the best American made Belgian style stouts I have ever had the pleasure to drink. It’s a staple in my collection at home and I’m never without a bottle.

On Tap @ Jimmy the Greek’s. Smell is oak barrel and Chocolate. Taste upfront is chocolate and alcohol. Let it on your tongue and you get a hoppy bitterness with a charcoal smokiness that smooth’s it out on the finish. The hops are balanced out by the other flavors of the stout every time. Yet ANOTHER nice brew from Allagash.

The aroma of Belgian yeast over a roasty malty backbone and a bit of "young funk" as Allen called it. The color is dark and bubbly, but not black, with a light tan head. It is very light in body and smooth, but not much creaminess. Definitely in the Belgian stout tradition.

On tap at the Brick Store Pub. Pours pitch black (as expected) with a small stable tan head. The aroma is mostly coffee, with notes of chocolate and caramel malts. The flavor is very sweet up front, with a bittersweet chocolate finish. The mouthfeel is very thick but smooth. Complex flavors, but not overpowering. A very good beer.

Draft pours deep black with little tan head. Aroma is roasted malt with some belgian yeast notes. Taste is pretty standard stout. Nothing special.

(Old Notebook Rating). Served from a bottle from BevMo. The appearance is a deep brown black with a slight amount of translucence. The yeast profile jumps out of the nose first followed by some bakers chocolate, and medium roast malt. More of the Belgium yeast in the flavors, a bit distracting for me from some nice stout flavors beneath. Mouth is moderately carbonated. Not really doing it for me here.

Deep brown / black color, thintan head. aroma is toasted and some malt. Full body and smooth. Good smooth stout... Don’t serve too cold like some restaurants do. .
