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

Very dark molasses/umber color; strong taste with a hint of roasted coffee perhaps (or burnt toast) probably good for those who like dark ales.

Firkin at Brouwers. Pours black with a soda-pop type head. Odd initial smell, perhaps due to firkin. Anise and sugar otherwise. Chocolate and coffee taste but not much hops.

phaleslu (3182) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - JUN 5, 2010
750 ml bottle from Keller’s IGA. Batch 8. Pours near black, opaque, with a small beige head. Notes of roasted malts, spices, oats, wheat, coffee, dark chocolate, burnt toast, fruit, licorice, and molasses. Full-bodied, with low carbonation and an oily, roasty mouthfeel. Lingering roast. Fruit is surprisingly noticeable. No alcohol is noticeable. Nice beer.

djd07 (1407) - Houston, Texas, USA - JUN 3, 2010
On tap at Flying Saucer. Pours a very dark brown almost black with a medium creamy tan head that lasts awhile. The aroma is roasted malt, coffee, and light yeast. Medium mouthfeel with roasted malt and smoke with a nice dry finish. A very good foreign stout from Allagash.

Aroma – Dark malt aroma with tons of dark chocolate and coffee in the nose.
Appearance – Black in color, Clear with a thin head.
Flavor – Lots of dark roast malt flavor, Big chocolate and coffee also.
Palate – Dry finish with a Nice Mouthfeel.
Overall – Big black beer with tons of stout flavor no Belgian yeast in the flavor for me to detect. But nerveless it was awesome.

Sampled on tap at the Copper Mine Pub Appearance: Nice black body with a light brown 1 finger crown that bares some retention and lacing. Smell: Beautiful toasty malt notes with some hints of coffee and Belgian yeast. Taste: Very nice flavor profile going here...roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, and a touch of toffee sweetness. Mouthfeel: A touch too thin for my preference. Drinkability: Fairly good. I liked this much more on tap than my previous bottle samplings. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 07-04-2009
