May 23, 2008 Updated: Oct 1, 2008750 ml. Three finger head that leaves nice lace. Aroma is charred coffee beans and hickory wood, lightly sweetened with molasses, and some light whiffs of citrus-bready yeast. Flavor is espresso, peppery green hickory, dry cocoa, charred oak, vanilla, and molasses. Some slight bubblegum, brown sugar, and yeast show up a bit later in the glass. This is the least sweet Foreign Stout I have tasted to date, but that isn’t a bad thing. Heavy body is smooth and slightly dry.

May 22, 2008 At Savor. Quite an interesting black pour. A dry stout with an upfront belgian yeast capper. Coffee and dark chocolate on the nose and tongue. Very nice.

May 21, 2008 Pours with a disappointing head, thin and low, has some slight Belgian yeast aromas with Munich and Roasted malt hints. Flavor is thin with some roast and hop flavor and bitterness noted. Average, not the best of Allagash. Decent beer at a high price.

May 19, 2008 On-tap at PP C’Bad. Pours dark brown with a big creamy light brown head, good retention, good lace. Smells dark and malty and also a little bit of rubbing alcohol. Tastes like dark sweet malts mixed with tequila. Not that good. Medium body, good carbonation.

May 18, 2008 Sampled at the Savor DC event. Pours a watery, opaque black with a thin white head. Peppery, yeasty, nutty aroma. Flavor is similar, with pepper, licorice, yeast and grain. Finish is soft with just a little bite.

May 18, 2008 Shared with TMoney99 & MBall581 @ Riversbend in Mainesville. Well crafted beer. This beer brought back memories of De Dolle’s Export Stout. Very dark in color, with and aroma of Belgian yeasts. I like stouts and frankly most dark beers and I’m always interested in tasting a new variation on a stout. The dark malts in these one gave it a charcoal taste with enough sugars and yeasts flavors to balance it out. Good & Interesting stout.
