| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 23, 2008 Batch 5!!! I really enjoyed this one...mixed reviews from me thus far for Allagash but this one impressed. Beautiful murky golden maroon with 1-inch head. Sticky...with lacing clinging to the side of the glass and a bitter aftertaste hanging on my palate. Dominate flavors of toffee, clove, banana and citrus. Didn’t really taste the smoke or licorice, which would have added a nice complexity but this was one that I enjoyed. AR (423), Georgia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 22, 2008 This beer was similar to a Belgian golden ale, except much more of a malty flavor. It was hearty and filling with a nice mouthfeel. Big head when poured. IrishBoy (2705), Bakersfield, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 19, 2008 750 ml bottle; nose of yeast, cloves, corriander, caramel, and a tiny funk note; lightly hazed copper with a big off-white head; flavor of peppery spices, caramel, and very, very light tartness.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Feb. 2007 - Beer poured amber orange, very small head, little lacing. Aroma was fruity and spicey. Flavor was fruity sweet, but much more subdued than your typical Belgian ale...but the change was welcome. Predominant flavors were peaches and pears, with some apple. Just the right amount of spiciness made this not boring, yet amazingly drinkable. Good beer! RomanW70 (297), Providence, Rhode Island, USA

Aroma of clove, citrus, and yeast. Taste is of sweet malts. Slightly bitter finish. Good flavors, but not terribly strong. Fairly dry. Nicely complex beer, but I wish it had a bit more flavor. datebeer (23), brooklyn, New York, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 16, 2008 This beer is about balance, every character is a compliment of another. It’s cloudy in the glass, but the aromas are unrestricted notes of honey, spice, and roasted pumpkins. The palate is creamy and soft. Beershine (2686), Hue, Vietnam
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 15, 2008 Pours hazy orange-coppery with thick creamy layer of foam that vanishes fast. Smells include bright grapefruit, starfruit, kumquat, and other yellow citrusy fruits. Dryness also immediately apparent in the nose. Some white sherry aromas too. Flavors are fruity and dry together. JP-like character. Some tartness, some dryness, some salt, some acidity, and some champagne-like qualities. Soft, big bursty, lively mouthfeel. Great stuff. rocbyter (910), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA
