Allagash Black

Bottle from City Market Vermont.The color is a nice black with a dark beige head. The aroma is of chocolat. The taste is of dry malt sweet caramel chocolat and spicies.Very very nice.

Don’t get me wrong this was tasty in it’s own right, but I was not wowed by it like I expected to be, and like I have been by most Allagash beers. This was just slightly on the mediocre side for my tastes. Pours a thick bubbly black color, with a surmountable tan head. Comes across very sweet and malty and less expressive on the yeasty side, and turns to be slightly one-dimensional. Very soft and creamy on the palate, and very warming. Decent, but could have been better for the amount of money it costs.

[RBESG, Sheffield] Grand Tasting @ The Halequin, Sheffield... deep brown ... sweet roast quite yeatsy nose ... sweet roast again lots of soft malts and a little yeast ... little toffee ...

Bottle at the RBESG09 Grand tasting, sheffield. Alround rating: Sweet stout, roasty one dimention and boring for me.

April(?) 2008: Allagash Black is very dark brown to near black in color with an ivory-colored head. It is dry and roasty with Belgian fruits and chocolate, hints of spice, and char. This beer is quite good overall!
