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.

Bottle. One of the best belgian style stouts i’ve had. Chocolate, roastiness, yeast, light fruit. Nicely done for the style.

Pours a dark brown, not black, color. Head is very foamy, and it stays for a while. Very lager-like malty taste. You can taste the roastiness, not much coffee but a little bit of roasted oat. Lots of fruit flavors, but Banana is the dominant note. Fairly sweet stout - it definitely lives up to its name of being a Belgian Style Stout.

Smooth and silky indeed. Great stout, I could keep this in regular rotation during the winter if it wasnt so hard to come across. The oats really thicken the mouthfeel and when combined with the opaque body you would really think you were drinking and imperial stout. Very nice.

Dark body with a small tan head. Flavor is bittersweet, hoppy and roasty. It has that distinct Belgian sweetness and yeastiness as well. Finishes smooth. I’m definitely a fan of Foreign Stouts; the combination of Belgian characteristics with big chocolate and coffee roastiness is a winner.

On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. Pours a pretty dark cola color. Aromas of roasted malts, cocoa, coffee. Light body but nice flavor. Mild bitterness, sweetness in finish. Has a little strange twist probably due to Belgian yeast. Pretty good

Draft at brewery, This is a hard beer to categorize, not really a stout but darn close. Roasty fragrance, light brown head, deep brown color. Nice beer, but nothing exceptional.

Draft...I was hopeful about this beer. Very dark in color, very much like a brown more so than a stout. Average sweetness. Little head. Carbonation was minimal. Alcohol not really noticeable. One thing I did not like was that it went flat quickly. May try again.

750 ml bottle. Black pour with a medium sized, light brown head. Roasted aroma. Flavor has hints of chocolate and roasted malts. Just ok.
