Jun 15, 2008 Bottle. Thanks to Thaddeus. A dark black color with a big foamy tan head. Tangy with a nice light carbonated feel. Chocolate and candy sugars join in for a smooth finish.

Jun 12, 2008 Roasty stout with the usual Allagashy yeastiness. Smooth as silk, with almost an oatmeal feel to it. Airy head of light tan. Sure it’s smooth, but there’s still a bit of prickly carbonation that tickles as it goes down. Yeasty. Tasty.

Jun 12, 2008 DFW Tasting 6/8/08 Thanks to Bu11zeye for sharing! I like the irish stouts so this one was not as good as those, but it was good. The aroma and flavor were the same, light chocolate and coffee with a lot more emphasis on the coffee.

Jun 11, 2008 Dark brown to black and clearish with an off white head. Smell is belgian, but malty, roasty, and yeast at the same time. Taste is the same as the smell. Decent.

Jun 9, 2008 Strong tan head of fine bubbles. Reducs to a thick sticky sheet of lacing and a rocky topped head. Roasdted grains, chocolate, crusty bread and some oatmeal. Color is a very dark brownish black. Good helping of roasted grains again, dark chocolate, a hint of raisin and some late smoke. Decent biterness with a light hops presence. Finishes creamy and a bit astringent. Very easy drinking. A damn good brew from Allagash.

Jun 9, 2008 On tap at Belmont Station in Portland. Pours very dark brown with a soft khaki head. Earthy roasted malt nose, bakers chocolate and a soft oak and clove note. More of a stout then well anything Belgian style, although the palate was lighter, almost airy which i’ll admit doesn’t fit the stout characteristics well for me. It was a good brew, but when I get roastiness I like a little more body behind it, maybe it helps keep the flavor around for me or something. This felt like more of a quick roasty tease then the higher carbonated and dried out palate flushes that away.

Jun 8, 2008 Bottle at stout tasting at bdigi66. Poured a small tan head that was mostly lasting, opaque, no visible carbonation, and very little lacing. The aroma consisted of roasted malts, some hops, sugary, some coffee, and a hint of chocolate. The flavor was malt, sugar, chocolate, some coffee, thin, and watery. Smooth, watery and thin mouthfeel and light-medium bodied. Quaffable, but somewhat on the thin side; however, tasty nonetheless. Worthy of a try if it comes your way.
