Allagash Four

Brewed by Allagash Brewing Company
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Portland, Maine USA

Its got a nice flavor to it and its has the nice warming feel from the alcholol as well but it was not worth the price tag of $11 dollars

Appears brandy-ish and sticky with red highlights and sediment in suspension. Not much of a head to start left a slim touch of foam ringing the glass to finish. Sweet, heavy, bready malts with honey, brandy and plums in the aroma. Thick, sweet & relaxing in flavor, malt-heavy. A slow-sipper with cinnamon lingering on the tongue for quite awhile to follow.

750 bottle poured a clear copper brown with a small offwhite head. Aromas of carmel, apple, and a bit of citrus. Pal;ate was smooth, dry, and a bit astringent. Flavors was phenolic,carmel, malty,pepper, and a hint of subtle smoke.

On tap at Landmark 1850 Inn - Milwaukee. Pour was a clear and deep ruby/amber with a medium tan head. Nice intricate lacing as this one went down. Deep dark fruits and other malts provided a strong basis for the aroma and the flavor. Spices and candi sugar were also present in the aroma and flavor. Flavor gets an extra point for being slightly more bold and intense than the nose. Very smooth and coating on the palate, with some warmth at the back of the throat. This was an excellent brew!

wow saved this for Colts opening day, just cracked it open to watch prime time. Nice cloudy(yeast) poured of a auburn body with off white head that settles with nice lacing. Aroma was spice-sweet-wood-earth Full body with great tastes same as aroma, Nice different brew here. Oh, alcohol was everywhere, nose and tastem , with big warming as well.

Pours cloudy amber with small head that fades fast. Some hops in aroma, but pretty light. Flavor is of sweet malt and light hops. An enjoyable beer, but nothing to get excited about.

Bottle. Reddish beer with a nice off-white head. Malt, brown sugar, and alcohol aroma. Sweet and musty flavor with some spice. Some fruit, but it tastes of harsh fermentables with loads of alchol - doesn’t bother to hide it at all. Nice full body, but its not smooth at all. Things get better as you drink more and the mustiness turns into a yeastiness, but it just doesn’t win me over. Not worth buying another bottle. Allagash just doesn’t succeed in my view - I want to like their beers, but they always come up short.

My initial impression came from the pour. This beer pours a deep ruby color with a quickly disappearing off white head. The aroma of this beer contains hints of port, cherries, oak, dates, plums, and spices. Now for the best part, the taste. Huge body, thick like a leather strap, but don’t let that turn you off. This beer is big and intentionally comes across as in your face. Lots of plum and candi sugar in this one. The port flavor is there as is fermented cherries (this beer contains no cherries), i recommend you drink this slowly after a decent meal.
