4.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Another original brew from Allagash. Aroma is certainly a little on the apple side. Very little head. Seems like more head came after the pour, but its just thin and lacey. Mouthfeel is smooth and sweet. Flavor is rich with malts. I dont know how people say this lacks complexity.

A 4 for Four. Very nice. Pours out a nice deep brown color with a large white head. Aroma is sweet, slightly malty, and very yeasty. Flavor just bursts in with a nice mellow sweetness with a nice balance of yeast and fruityness. Great brew, these guys never cease to amaze me.

Doughy and hoppy aroma with a very nice appearance. Sweet with an nice finish. Palate could have been fuller but overall I enjoyed this beer.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a reddish/copper with a thinner than usual (for a quad) head. Not quite as pillowy as a St Bernardus, but the head that does remain lasts throughout. Aroma is yeasty, fruity, and slightly peppery with hints of cherries, raisins, and figs. Taste is dark, and fruity with hints of phenols and figs. There is also a fairly noticable peppery/warming alcohol finish. Overall, not the best quad ever, but pretty good.

C&C 750. Pours into my Chimay glass a murky golden brown with almost no head. Nice, sweet, fruity nose, raisin, fig, brown sugar/light molasses, mildly boozy. Sweet, dried fruit flavors, raisin, fig, date, prune, some light brown sugar, sweet malt, an almost sherrylike tinge. Body is just slightly on the thin side for my taste - does not really match the rich flavors. Mild alcohol warming in the throat. It’s been awhie since I’ve had a nice quad, and Allagash does not disappoint.

Pours a Dark murky copper color with a big tan head. Aromas of apples, berries, and other dark fruits. Tastes of the same fruits. Very well balanced. Drank right after the Allagash Brewery tour. Great brewery!!!!!
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Bottle. Aroma of yeast, malt, fruit, and alcohol. Probably in the top three for belgian style beers I have tasted. Tastes similar to the aroma, but an enjoyable sweetness to balance the alcohol. Very enjoyable.

UPDATED: OCT 17, 2009 At the 2007 Big Beer, Belgians, & Barleywines Festival in Vail. Yummy! Pours a cloudy dark copper amber with an off white head. Orange coriander meaty aroma. Fruity sweetness to the flavor needs a bit more malt body to be a champion. I like the emerging spiciness to the finish. UPDATE: On tap at Downtown Johnny Brown’s. Pours dark amber to light brown with a mid-thick off white head. Cotton candy aroma. At warming, the huge fruitiness emerges. Plums and raisins galore!
