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.

On Draft at Ballydoyle Bloomingdale. This beer is great, they bill it is a belgian style stout, not sure if that is what i would call it. Dark black in color, yet very clear. It drinks a lot lighter than i was expecting. Nice head out of the draft and into an allagash glass. I get some of the chocolate and roasted notes, very hard to describe, but it is the best beer i have had this year so far for sure.

Aroma is of malt and slight hops. A little mollasses and oats. Full and silky on the plate, the flavor is reminiscent of coffee with yeast. I love it!

Cybercat (1735) - Georgia, USA - OCT 25, 2008
Comes out of the tap a deep opaque sable with a fairly thick tan head - very appetizing. Aroma is like well-roasted mocha and has just a hint of caramel. Flavor is rich and ’’stouty’’ - smoky with strong coffee and unsweetened chocolate components - and has just a touch of sweetness. Finish is smooth and very pleasing. A winner!

Sweet, milky, chocolatey. Smooth. Wheat undertones. Not too heavy, but velvety.

GreatLibations (1771) - Last Supper, Arizona, USA - JUN 26, 2008
Pours dark w/ a full lasting head and superb lacing. Aromas of cocoa and dark fruit. Medium nectar w/ creamy, expansive residual effers. Beautifully balanced flavors of cocoa and darkfruit intermingle w/ a moderate roast component. A striking hop profile bitters this to a classic level. The finish lingers. One awesome brew!

Braudog (4473) - Hampton, Virginia, USA - JAN 8, 2008
Caged and corked ... poured with a gigantic foam top, well retained over black gold. The aroma is entertaining ... chocolate right off the bat, with twinges of licorice and more. Quite smooth to the drink, sweet and fruity, with the undercurrent of chocolate still the predominating character, but well augmented with ark fruity and mellow sugar. Exceptional.
