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

Bottle. Pours very dark brown with a medium light tan head. The aroma is dark fruit, chocolate, sweet roasted malt, sweet tobacco and light coffee. The flavour is sweet and roasted with notes of dark chocolate and dark ripe fruit. Very delicious!

Best of the tasting as far as I can tell, tho I did rate some from that tasting better. From draft, I thought this was a black IPA but the rep said it was a dark belgian (seems right for Allagash). Medium heavy body with caramel, coffee, chocolate, roasted influences. Flower and herb hops notes. Kinda smoky in a way. Very well done and a great winter warmer at 7.5%

Got a 750 ml corked and caged bottle. Poured into a Chimay goblet. Dark brown but somewhat translucent compared to say an imperial stout. Beautiful off white head that left some lacing on the glass. Aroma was of milk chocolate, yeast, and slight hops. Taste was full of roasted malts, chocolate malts, and spicy belgian yeast. Mouth feel was a little bit thin but the velvety carbonation made up for it. Very enjoyable and very easy to drink.

batch 32 Cola pour, black body, small tan head. Aroma of milk, coca, yeast, roast, and dark fruit. Burnt, roasted malts in the flavor, some chocolate, and dark fruit on the finish. Silky mouthfeel with mellow carbonation and some alcohol warming.

On tap at the Bridge View tavern. Nice black as coal pour with a thin head. Toasty roasty chocholety goodness with a bold sweet palat! Wow. That’s all I have to say. Enjoy!
