3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20I am not a big stout fan and I thought Alagash may have a take on it that would empress me. Plus I only paid $6 at Costco. It’s good. Doesn’t really compare to there better beers. Bitter coffee, thin, not a lot of Belgium going on here.

Bottle to glass. Light black dark brown in color with an extremely thin and quickly disappearing tan head. Aroma is quite roasty, with a strong chocolate presence and mild hints of characteristic Belgian yeast. Flavor is full of roasted bitterness with a light chocolatey sweetness. Body is medium with a low amount of carbonation and a lingering roasted bitterness. Belgians are not my forte, but this is definitely one of my favorites from Allagash.

Delicious. Had it with some BBQ food in NYC. Smooth with great taste. Chocolatey with a hint of java. Get it or be square.

4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
P: Super dark brown almost black body with a finger of cappuccino head that dissipates to a think silky layer.
S: Fruit forward, cherries, apples, raisins, and fig pudding. Loads of roasted chocolate, dark and milk with a dank grainy background. Roasted barley and charred molasses with herbal bubblegum, clove, cinnamon, cardamom and banana esters.
T/M: Sticky roasted/smokey grains and sweet fruit background. Super balanced. Charred molasses with cinnamon, cayenne and dark chocolate covered raspberries around earthy almost dirty base followed by chalky yeasty. Mouthfeel is silky but becomes almost foamy on the swallow. Finishes dry and full of spice and smokey residue. A touch of coffee cones through at the end.
O: Complex with several layers of flavors developing as the session progressed. It was almost like having a different beer with every sip. Multitudes of fruit, chocolate, and roasted malts develop a terrific brew. Will have this again soon. Cheers!

Good solid stout. Get a nice toffee smell. Taste hints of toffee, chocolate, and coffee. Not overly thick. Seems less watery than something like Guinness.

12 oz bottle into a goblet. 2432 on the label, I believe this guy has a bit of age on it.
A - Pours a black body with a finger of grey khaki foam that lasts forever. Really nice lacing and retention.
S&T - Aroma’s of roast, chocolate, and some subtle fruity Belgian yeast. Very simple and inviting. Taste is again o chocolate and roasted malts which is finished by light and fruity yeast esters. Its just a hint of that bannana/clove/bread thing which works incredibly well with the stout base. Its clean, tasty, and simple. Rich and creamy mouth feel.
O - I’ve always ignored this one for some reason. I guess the idea of Belgian yeast in a stout didn’t sound like it would be up my alley. However, I’m really digging this beer. Its really easy drinking and pleasant and the Belgian touch is just right.
