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

75 cL bottle. Pours dark brown to deep black with a small off-white head. Aroma is roasted malt, light breadish and vague spiced. Mild ashtrayish and with a lingering dark chocolate malt flavoured. Smooth malty and chocolate flavoured finish.

Decent, nothing to crazy, no real strong taste and it has no lingering tastes worth mentioning.

branspra (293) - Arlington, Virginia, USA - AUG 28, 2009
Bottle. Pours a dark black hazy color with minimal brownish head. Aromas of chocolate, roasted malts, and a hint of coffee. Wonderful start with a stout mouthfeel that leads to a Belgium finish - perfection! Flavors of chocolate, malts, and hints of bananas. I will definitely purchase this beer going forward!

UPDATED: NOV 9, 2009 1. From the Jug at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 11/10/2008 Fruit and some roast aromas. Tan head. Dark coloured and rich on the palate with a bitter lasting malt finish. 2. From the Bottle at RBESG Harlequin, Sheffield 19/07/2009 Floral aroma. Big beige head. Dark coloured sweet on the palate and malty with a little dryness in a crisp and bitter chocolate roast finish.

Tap. Pours black with brown head. Aroma was lacking. Flavor had some malt and chocolate, but not intense. Having it on tap was probably what kept out the yeast flavor which I love. Kind of one dimensional but solid.

Jayb0 (828) - Cherry Hill, New Jersey, USA - AUG 25, 2009
Again, Allagash is still finding nice ways to twist classics. The belgian yeast for this take on stout works perfectly, as does the champagne style bottle conditioning. Nicely balanced stout with exceptionally smooth mouth and plenty of complexity. Stood up well to an intense chocolate dessert.

On draft at Thinking man. Pours a near clear dark brown with creamy tan head. Nose is roasty, with cocoa that comes out more in the flavor. The abv is fairly well hidden with just a touch of warmth on the tail. Some dark cherry juice as well. Moderately creamy palate. Kinda like a sweet stout with a belgian flare. Not bad
