The aroma was sweet and malty with a hint of raisins or grapes. Taste is massively malty with plenty of yeasty/doughy flavors present as well. Very thick and full mouthfeel.

Flavors of fruit with a hint of birch beer and Belgian yeast. Complex but lacking mystique, funk, intreague. A bit on the sweet side. Candy like.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Oct 13, 2006 For some reason, we have gotten all of the special releases, tripel, grand cru, dubbel, white, summer, and never gotten this before. I have a bottle from 2003, but I thought i would see what it tastes like fresh, since I have never even had this before. The last of the Allagash beers I have tried, except for bruin and BA 4, i was eagerly anticipating this one. The cork popped off without too much pulling, but it did not blow off as I thought it might have. Reddish brown color pour. Smell is sweet, some hops, malts, sugars, and rich. Taste is smooth and fruity, sweet, with a light CO2 presence. Not hoppy, but just a nice beer. Has the taste of all allagash beers yeast, quite good. Proving this is probably my favorite brewery in all of the usa, without question. perhaps the world? I can drink anything these guys put out, any time. Great stuff.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 8, 2006 Opaque reddish-brown body with about one finger of light tan head. Light scent - malt, fruit, and alcohol. Flavor is much stronger. Fruit dominates the flavor with some malt and alcohol toward the finish. On the heavier side of medium bodied. A fair bit of carbonation, but not prickly. Tasty and pleasant to be sure, and more drinkable than some quadrupels I’ve had.
