On tap at the Blind Lady in San Diego. Hazy yellow in the glass, with a thick sticky foam of a head. Nose is sweet and spicy. Oak and booze. Taste is sharp and yummy. Spicy, some fruit, and clean yeast. Thinkin’ about the 2year old bottle in my closet...

(Feb. 2007) 75 cl bottle at Hopheads´ tasting 30.01.09 (Trygve). Golden/amber color, fine white head. Aroma is sweet, bourbon barrel and has hints of alcohol. Flavor is sweet and fruit - complex, lovely!

750 ml bottle, 2007 vintage. A cloudy dark golden beer with a quite small, though persistent white head. The aroma is powerful and with a certain degree of complexity. Enough maltiness, light citric hops and many woody oaky notes and much bourbon. Perhaps not balanced, too woody aroma, but in a way I like. The flavour has a strong sweetness and a mild acidity, Again oaky and vinous, again not totally balanced, but tasty, Some spices in there. Only medium body, lively carbonation, long finish with light to medium bitterness, some warming alcohol. Once again a great Allagash beer.

Another success like most things Allagash. Cinnamon in the aroma and very light bourbon. Light orange color. Flavor has sweet candi sugar and Belgian yeast with mild bourbon. One of those rare bourbon beers actually done well, but I probably would have liked it better without the bourbon anyway.

An interesting beer, would classify this as a bourbon bomb. Musky aroma, with some wood. Flavors of bourbon, oak, vanilla, clove that finishes boozy. Nice mouthfeel, overall a very well made beer.

Unbelievable lacing - cloudy gold amber and creamy head. Aroma is sweet with lots of oak scents. Taste is smooth also with unbelievable amounts of oak. This is the oakiest beer I have ever tasted. In the end too oaky. Decent but a bit extreme. Did I mention that its oaky??

Sllightly hazed golden pour with creamy white head and lace. Light spice but not much of the bb but a hint. Clovish flavor with a hint of light bannana and a pretty warm abv. Palate and carbonation are solid as a dollar. A nice fruity after taste followed by the nice abv warmth. Very nice beer.
