May 1, 2008 Bottle. Almost black beer with a nice tan head. Light roasty, light yeasty, caramel malt aroma. Light roasty, coffee, caramel flavor with earthy yeast and a bit of woodsy hops. Medium bodied. Lingering earthy yeast, caramel, and light roast. Lighter than other Belgian stouts, but nice.

May 1, 2008 Tap @ Blind Tiger. Pours a deep brown to almost black with a lacy white head. Aroma is roasted malt and that unmistakable Belgian yeast characteristic. Taste is a wonderful experience of light roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and Belgian yeast, remaining smooth throughout. Finish is crisp and the alcohol isn’t noticeable in the least. Very enjoyable experience, and another hit from our boys in Maine.

May 1, 2008 Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured a black color with an average frothy off-white head that lasted and produced good lacing. Good roasted malt aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture. Complex roasted stout flavor with a medium bittersweet smooth finish of moderate to long duration. Very well balanced standout beer.

Apr 30, 2008 Pours dark brown/black with tan head. Aroma of burnt malts and some smokiness. Flavor is sweet roasted malts. Mouthfeel is a bit thin, more like a porter than a stout. Still, it is a very well made beer that is very tasty.

Apr 29, 2008 Bomber. Near black color, big foamy head. Nuts and coffee on the nose and flavor. Very burnt and roasty flavored, both in a good way. Some more bread flavors than typical of a stout. Really enjoyable beer that’s quite easy to drink. Interesting and would go wonderfully with heavy food.

Apr 28, 2008 Spectacular brew and a magnificent take on a very unique twist of a classic style. I love what the brewers at Allagash do. There’s no challenge that they won’t take a whack at.
This one is a gorgeous deep brown (dare I say "almost" black?) with a rich foamy head. Aroma is mild coffee and strong roasted notes. Just a hint of chocolate. Rolls smoothly across your palate with the same burnt notes and roasty goodness. Not quite as bitter as some of your other stouts out there. Delicious. Pairs very well with a blackened piece of beef.

Apr 27, 2008 Nicely bittered, with just an acidic touch reminiscent of coffee. Underlying soft, sugary sweetness. Aroma of wood, baked bread and a little burned oatmeal. Alcohol apparent in the nose, but not the flavor. Goes down very easy, but at the moment the beer (in Expedition snifter) is still too cold; about 53-54 deg, but not warm enough yet. A little thin. Nice lookin’; a little lighter brown than expected.
Someone mentioned milk stout, and there is definitely a lingering lactic component to the flavor...
