Mar 13, 2009 Pours a murky orange-brown with lots of carbonation and a rocky, off-white head. Minimal lacing. Cherries, dried dark fruits, a boatload of brown sugar and yeast, and a clove/nutmeg/cookie dough mixture. Thicker, velvety mouthfeel. Somewhat sticky, which enhanced the sweeter side of the brew. The tangier, earrthy side of the beer dominated. Apples, grapes, and cherry for the most part. A fair amount of toffee and even some chocolate flavors popped up. Lots of sticky caramel and yeasty esters. The alcohol is not well masked, giving the a boozy finish. A very good beer that is easy to have you fill of.

Mar 1, 2009 2006 bottle sampled March ’09.
Relatively light appearance with a modest head. Aroma is dominated by characteristic Allagash yeastiness, light caramel flavors around mild dark fruits. Mouthfeel is a bit on the thin side, but the alcohol has no problem going straight to my head despite being nowhere to be found on the mouthfeel.

Mar 1, 2009 Bottle from Monument in Concord, CA. This brew was rather sweet with dark fruit flavors and a nice solid malt body. There was also some spice and yeast flavor, almost bready.

Feb 14, 2009 Dark orange with a short creamy head. Flavors were that of pitted fruits and overall not too malty. Very strong and slightly bitter. Nice quad.

Feb 9, 2009 Cloudy orange, surprisingly small head. Sweet, yeasty aroma, with a bit of wineyness, too. Nicely smooth, with a mix of winey, spicey, and yeasty flavors. Some nice hoppiness in the finish. Enjoyable brew.

Feb 6, 2009 This was very smooth due to the four malts used in the brewing. The alcohol taste was marred by the hops as well. This was all very balanced and tasted fantastic. Wonderful beer that exceeded my expectations.
