Apr 7, 2008 Updated: Apr 22, 2008Bomber. Rich auburn, big soapy head that disappears pretty quickly. Smells of rich, toasty malts, plums, and caramel. Really appealing nose. The taste wasn’t what I was hoping for after the start, though. Comes on with a nice thick plum/raisin taste up front but doesn’t hold the complexity for long. Finishes sharply, but not overly strongly or really that great. Good, drinkable, but not outstanding.

Apr 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours deep amber with a beige head. Sweet aroma with notes of caramel, melon, and yeast. Medium body. Flavor is again sweet fruit with notes of caramel, honeydew, and yeast. Maybe a light note of spice as well. Pretty good.

Mar 29, 2008 Smells yeasty and slightly chocolatey and coffee-life. Colour is a deep, almost opaque reddish-brown with a creamy head. Taste is not very carbonated, malty with a bit of a bitter aftertaste. Nice lacing, though.

Mar 21, 2008 Pour a dark brown with a big head - you should pour very, very slowly. Nice aroma with a bit of nut and dry fruit coming through. The taste was quite satisfying and I was very impressed by Allagash’s effort. A little light in body. Better as it warmed a little as the full flavor and aroma really came out. Again, I was very impressed with this effort. The flavor was a bit nutty and carmel like. Not quite a Belgian Dubbell but a decent American version.
