Mar 27, 2007 Bottle... This beer rocks!... Hazy mahogany ale with a large, frothy, tan head with an orange tint. Decent retention. Breadsy, vinous aroma with notes of caramel, port, dark fruits and toasted grain. Sweet, malty flavor of dried plum, chocolate, sherry and earthy hops. Medium to full-bodied and lightly creamy with lively carbonation. Lengthy, dark fruit, dry finish. World class brew!

Mar 25, 2007 Blind rating at sk8viking´s. Pours brown with a light brown/yellow head. Sweet with Belgian yeast flavors. Also dark fruits, but not enpough. Low carbonation. Light bodied. Sweet finish. Boring.

Mar 24, 2007 cherry or similar berry taste - slightly sweet finish. not much malt. not much in the way of bubbles. light on the alcohol - could probably still operate the ski lift after a few of these...

Mar 23, 2007 Bottle-mahogany hue with a compact head that dissipated quickly, ample carbonation. Aroma of yeast, bread and sweet malts. Sightly sweet malty flavor with very light roasted malt and yeasty flavors. Thin palate.

Mar 22, 2007 Bottle. Poured a dark amber body with hugh head. Aroma is of yeast, berry fruit, and some spices. Flavor is slightly sweet with a nice fruity taste to it and some nice carbonation. Very smooth.

Mar 21, 2007 My least favorite Allagash beer I think. A nice ruddy color, appropriate to the style, and a big head with a pointed aroma. While the patented Allagash yeast strain is present in the initial taste, somehow this one comes across as a bit thin, even chalky in some sense. The sugars tend to have the right overtones of caramel and raisins and so forth, but this one doesn’t quite have enough presence for me - and certainly lacks the serious complexity I expect from this fine brewer.

Mar 16, 2007 750 ml bottle. Nice mahogonay reddish color with a beautiful creamy head that lasted forever. Lots of nice lacing all the way up the glass. Aromas were dark fruit, raisin, caramel. Flavors were similar, but not as profound. Pretty nice

Mar 5, 2007 pours a cloudy dark apple cider color with a one finger off white head that disappears quickly. aroma is light yeast, grain, and bread with a little dark fruit. has a medium body with ok lacing and descent carbonation. flavor is light malt, yeast, and grain, with some bread and a touch of alcohol. the carbonation has a little bite and has a small dry hop aftertaste not bad but average. little thin but a pretty smooth dubbel i guess.
