beerfest5 (128), Simsbury, Connecticut, USA Jan 26, 2009 On Draught at Plan B, dark amber with a good sized head, went great with a burger and fries, nicely malty and not too strong. subtle spices, a lot less than Allagash white but still there, a very nice beer. nathan30533 (138), Dahlonega, Georgia, USA Jan 25, 2009 Pours a very nice dark amber/brown color with a smooth wonderful white forming head. Great taste of malts and dry hops. Very good overall brew. Great job Allagash. cdizinno (4), Gastonia, North Carolina, USA does not count Jan 24, 2009 12 oz. Not much of a flavor. Okay, but better in the larger corked bottle as shown. Gypsy19 (603), California, USA Jan 22, 2009 Pours a maple brown with little head. Flavor is of prunes, chocolate, and a little molasses way in the back. Not very sweet at all. The unsweetened chocolate flavor is a little too dominant over the others in my opinion. Didn’t tickle my fancy, nevertheless good overall. ratman197 (3139), Arvada, Colorado, USA Jan 19, 2009 750 ml corked and caged bottle poured a hazy copper brown with a small lasting amber head. Aromas of carmel, raisin, spice and a hint of brown sugar. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, spice and light fruittiness with a smooth malty finish. EnSiFeRuM (501), Quebec, Canada Jan 11, 2009 Nos yeux observent une bière de couleur rubis trouble et un col de mousse fauve qui s’impose du début jusqu’à la fin de la dégustation. Au nez on découvre des arômes de vieille pipe à fumé le tabac, de grain fumé, de raisin , de chocolat et de réglisse, le tout sous un fond d’alcool. En bouche le corps est rond avec une effervescence faible-moyenne. On goûte des saveurs de grain fumé, de caramel fonçé, de raisin et de fleurs. La finale présente des notes de torréfaction ainsi qu’une bonne amertume. Complexe et excellent SuperDave70 (1157), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA Dec 29, 2008 Pours a deep amber color with a small, tightly packed head retreats to a ring. Sweet toasty malt, apples, yeast and spice in the aroma. Flavor is big on caramel and ripe fruit. A bit of spicy hop on the finish. Light and dry on the palate. Not bad at all! basewars (144), Albany, New York, USA Dec 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown with thick brown head. Aroma is bready with some apples and cinnamon. Flavor is fruity with some coffee notes. Light and bubbly on the palate. Very nice.
