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.

darn1207 (1280) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - JAN 24, 2010
750mL bottle from Knightly Spirits in Orlando. Brown/black pour with a medium beige head that disappears to a thin ring fairly quickly. Pleasant aroma of roasted malts, belgian yeast, cocoa and caramel. Lightly sweet toasted malts up front in the flavor. Then burnt chocolate, leather, vanilla, soy and some spice. Finishes up dry.

Cavie (3249) - Fort Worth, Texas, USA - JAN 22, 2010
Very very black pour. Large head response that sat around for quite awhile. Sweet heavy stout aroma. Strong sharp notes with coffee and chocolate. Dark heavy taste. Sweet cocoa with bitter notes on the flavor. Some amounts of sharpness on the aftertaste. Might need to sit and age for a little while longer. Good though. Good.

Mora2000 (2732) - Dallas, Texas, USA - JAN 17, 2010
Pours dark brown to black with a khaki head. There are red highlights around the edges. The aroma is roasted malt, chocolate and Belgian yeast. The flavor is more roasted malt and chocolate, with some Belgian character. You get some bitterness and possibly even some coffee characteristics. The mouthfeel is very creamy with low carbonation.

Listigovers (216) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JAN 10, 2010
Very smooth velvety stout. Roasted flavours and yeast flavours collide very uniquely, quite interesting. I forget the nuances of the aroma, but it was potent and roasted. Very very nice beer.
