Shared with TMoney99 & MBall581 @ Riversbend in Mainesville. Well crafted beer. This beer brought back memories of De Dolle’s Export Stout. Very dark in color, with and aroma of Belgian yeasts. I like stouts and frankly most dark beers and I’m always interested in tasting a new variation on a stout. The dark malts in these one gave it a charcoal taste with enough sugars and yeasts flavors to balance it out. Good & Interesting stout.

Candy and nutty roast aroma with a little liquorice and faint banana. Hazy, almost opaque dark brown under a thin, white cover. Nice roasty vanilla and Belgian banana flavour with some other esters and clove phenolics. Medium body, elevated carbonation, black malt bitterness in the finish.

Jan 1, 2010 great beer. classic stout aromas but more mellow and mixed with belgian esters and phenols, very interesting but alcohol is a bit to evident. flavours are much the same, alcohol more mellow though, and incredible smooth mouthfell. Had this for breakfast, perfect choice.

Dec 30, 2009 On tap at Track 84. Pours a chocolatey black-brown, with cocoa-colored edge and rim in
off-white. Aroma is minimal, with a snip of some hazlenut cream. Flavors
are very well melded, with an intense soft, velvet creaminess. Alcohols
prickle in the back of the throat. Toasty and nutty. This would be good
if it was bourbon-barrel aged. However, it’s a very surficial beer.
There isn’t much to dig into beneath the vague chocolate characters. I
get some nice yeast mingling with the stout flavors, but nothing
particularly strong. Decent, not amazing. I’m so glad I didn’t have to pay for a whole bottle.

Dec 18, 2009 on tap @ Plan B in Simsbury, so unbelievably smooth, less marks for appearance, looks more like a porter than a stout, small off-white head that goes pretty quickly. just so smooth and delicious.

Dec 17, 2009 750 bottle, pours a dark black, little head, good aromas, suprisingly smooth and tasty. One of Allagash’s more affordable bottles also. Can’t go wrong.

Dec 5, 2009 Black with a soft thin head. Very big aroma; dusty black malt, coffee and hint of Belgian sour funk. Sourish black chalk, molasses and alcohol flavour. As you sip an interesting brown sugar sweetness comes along side and says hello. Black sugar sweetness is rather nice.
