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.

Aroma of dark chocolate shavings and black coffee. Pours close to black with a medium.but thick head (thanks to the nitro). Tastes of roasted coffee with hints of chocolate. Finishes with a sweet iron taste thanks to the Belgian yeast. Great stout!

Pour is jet black with a small tan. Nose is of burnt coffee. Taste is much sweeter and of chocolate. Fairly smooth for 7.5% and an easy drinker.

DRAFT pour at Fork in Lincoln Square / Chicago. Very much smoother / more mild than expected. Interesting notes of chocolate and expresso; not overpowering but definitely there. Think I need to try this one again for more full review....

Bottled@Monks Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Very deep brown colour with a mediumsized brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, mild toffee as well as some mild fruity notes. Flavour is rather similar in a nice balance. Towards the end of the bottle it gets some slight yeastyness to it as well.
