Allagash Curieux

shared with friends poured into tulip glass. This is an exceptional beer brewed by people that understand just about everything anyone would ever need to know about beer. This is a big delicous beer with many amazing attributes. Drink it like you would that favorite bottle you were saving for the best of ocassions. Superlative in every conceivable way. When you are looking for a big luscious beer look no further.

Bottle vintage 2004 9.5% sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours hazy orange\gold with a white head. Aroma of spices, yeast, citrus, fruit, and wood. Flavor is sweet, citrusy, the oak is very present, spicey, and smooth.

i had heard of this beer thru a website and tracked it down.vintage 2006, at 11%.aged in jim beam barrels, i hoped it would filter through, unlike alot of wooded beers.first pour, very nice, nice head.immediate smell of whiskey. a sip, then WOW.this is ale? are we sure?immediate wood, earth, sweet tripel, and other notes come through followed by that famous whiskey taste. an amazing beer, one i’m glad i had, would buy again and again.also the only ale my brain ever tried to tell me i needed a chaser.

Aroma of cabernet, oak. Appears orange-pink in color. Flavor is bouron and oak. Palate is effervescent, bubbly, appropriate. Overall, I found this experience to be absolutely sublime. I wish I had been in a position to do a proper rating.

Bottled Feb ’05, 11%abv. Pours hazy golden with thick white lasting head. Plenty of carbonation. Aroma is fresh, grassy, with a slight bit of oak. Flavor, now this is something else. Rich flavors of bourbon and oak with slight vanilla. Very creamy and silky smooth. Very unique and unusual beer. Very good beer. Alcohol is not apparent. I am quite pleased by this one. If I see this one again I will not pass it up.

Bottle 340. Nice sweet and citrus aroma. Pours a lovely full, thick orange/yellow, like good cheddar cheese. Beautiful white head, lots of cabo action. Immediate rush of bourbon that lingers delicately on the tongue, but never overpowers. The mouthfeel is like beautiful lacing around your favortie glass. A wonderful beer, worth every penny of the $16.99 + tax I paid for it at the Whip-In in Austin. If you have a chance to grab one of these, do not hesitate!

On tap at Eulogy Belgian Tavern in Philadelphia. this was the BEST beer that we tried and we had a number of amazingly delicious and interesting (all pretty smooth) beers! it was served in a snifter. poured a blood-orange with a medium sized, white-fizz head. lacing followed in the form of very small thing piasleys dancing along the class. smells of strong alcohol and sweet smalts. tastes mostly of bourbon. becomes sweeter and sweeter as you continue to drink it. borders on too sweet. but looking back on it I wrote "Delicious, Delicious, Delicious" and know that the 3 of us fought over who was holding it in their hand as we were rotating/sharing beers and this was the best. try it immediately! yum!
