3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: MAR 12, 2008 Trappist Glass. Pours Reddish gold with a small vanishing head. 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.

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.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.

UPDATED: FEB 3, 2008 Mild malt and strong yeast aroma. Cloudy orange color with a medium thick white head. Mild bitterness in the beginning with a slight amount of bitterness in the finish. Full palate.

Deep golden color with a thick white head. Not really much in the nose, but you can detect some spice and definitely yeast. The cork added to the aroma, don’t know if that was a positive? Dry in the mouth with notes of pear and spice. Better than expected
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Color of dark straw with a good, fluffy head. Nose is a little weak, but I’m getting some spices and belgian yeast. The flavor is a litle dry, but in a really good way. Balanced between traditional flavors, banana, cloves and sugar, and some pinot gris and a little oaky suggestions. Dry, but not too thin. Good beer.

Just uncorked a bottle of this great beer and I’m not disappointed in the least. I was in the mood for a new, great winter beer to consume tonight and this one makes me happy. Tastes very nice, and I’ll be adding this to my list of damn good winter beers.

bottle. my first allagash beer... and it did not disappoint. pours a dark golden with a thick white head. very pleasant spicy aromas full of cloves, fruits and perfumes. medium body with spices very prevalent on the tip of the tongue, while soft and full of flavor on the sides. Extremely delicious.
