Allagash Four

Bottle. Pours a hazy copper color topped by healthy beige foamy head. Nose is mild sweet malts, faint herbal hoppiness, ripe fruits, plus some spicy pepper notes. Taste is medium sweet, yeasy, and has a definite herbal quality too. Creamy and full bodied....toward a dry end. Nice quad.

Tastes more alcoholic than it is. I consider that a bad thing personally. But it pours nice and I am a sucker for a pretty beer. Runs through the gambit of Belgian Quad flavors, spun sugar, caramel and spice, but that alcohol shows up at the end more than it should at 10% and ruins what would otherwise be a sweet malt finish. Still interesting and worth anyones try.

Not particularly enticing aroma of medicine and alcohol, with a little bit of pleasant raisin and yeast. Orangish/dark copper color, with a light head that faded quickly. Flavor is a mixture of cough syrup and grape and sugar, odd. Alcohol is noticeable on the palate.

dark tan ruby tinted body that looks like a mix of tomato juice and iced tea with a thin grey head. aroma is sherry like with sweetness and a noticeable yeast tint. notes of bubblegum and fruits. this is appealling to someone like me who has a barleywine chugging exterior, but don’t let that fool you, i can also enjoy slowly sipping a complex brew too. upfront sweetness of candy apples and cotton candy with a dry finish. alcohol is noticeable but not dominant. very well balanced beer. some peppermint also comes out in this. lingering spicey licorice dryness that draws me back for more. doughy earth notes in this are fantastic, a wonderful beer

Deep cooper in color. Trace of coppery overtones and spices on the palate. Great lacing and fantastic head at the start. A good strong ale, but not overpowering with alcohol to the taste. A fun surprise and one of the best Belgian-American quads I’ve sampled.

This came in a 750ml bottle corked and caged. This poured out a mahogany color body with about a fourth inch off white head. No lacing was left as this was consumed. Aroma is full of a malty sweetness with a strong dark fruit presence. Taste is sweet and spicy with a strong fruitiness. There are traces of the alcohol present as well and a spicy aftertaste. Mouthfeel is almost full with a creamy texture. Drinkability is good as well, I would definitely have this again. Give this one try if you come across it.

orange copper color, clear and bright. thin/sparce foamy tan head, goes very quickly. aroma is raisin juice, rum soaked banana, heavy malt. lively carbonation, medium mouhtfeel. deep malty start, juicy and whiskey soaked raisin. slight hop bitterness at the finish with some whiskey warmth. a little salty and dry too. by the time it’s room temperature, the far away caramel flavor shows up.

Poured a hazy dark amber color with a thin off white head. Aroma is fruity with brown sugar, bananas, and alcohol. Sweet flavor of caramel and brown sugar. Alcohol shows itself. Finish is peppery and bitter. Nice warming sensation.
