Tap at City Beer. probably the least favorite of all the Allagash’s I had togteher with the Black. Somehow I expected more. The flavor profile is a bit of a mess: You get some oak, some more cradboardy notes, some whisky and some butterscotch and too much alcohol burn. Hops is taking a backseat as do the Belgian yeasts. Could not warm up to that one.

Nov 29, 2008 What a super brew. Stood up well to the turkey this year. Smooth balance of brown sugar and hops, no indication of the high alcohol content--just real fine full-bodied flavors. Tan head atop a deep amber brew. A fine ale.

Nov 28, 2008 This has an interesting sour aroma. Great color and head. This has a good flavor-sweet, caramel. This is smooth and doesn’t seem strong. Great.

Nov 27, 2008 Aroma of chocolate and alcohol. Medium brown pour with an off white head. Some sweet notes, like caramel and toffee. Slight hop bitterness with a very sweet body. Alcohol very present. Some raisins in the taste as well. For 10% it goes down easily.

Nov 19, 2008 Bouteille de 750ml, acheté à City Market (Burlington, Vermont) le 25/9/08. Brune noisette vaseuse, peu de collet. Arome d’orge malté bien épicé, avec des notes d’houblon légèrement amêre et crèmeuse. Goût d’alcool très prèsant, mais bien réchaufant, malte épicé avec une bonne finission licoreuse. Comme une boisson forte, mais sans être à 40% ou plus!
