Aug 20, 2009 Tasted at brewery, batch 19 (8 months old). Clear and dark golden with a creamy head. Aroma is lightly roasted malt and a bit of tang. Feels heavy, best to drink in a small glass. I can’t get all the flavors but there are a lot of them. Yay beer!

Aug 4, 2009 Deep red amber hue with some haze from the yeast. Belgian lace present throughout the whole drinking experience, though initial head is somewhat flacid even with an aggressive pour.
Aroma suggests sweetness throughout. Malt, Wit/Hefeweizen yeasty fruity aromas, and some black tea aromas are present. Ceylon Fancy?
Medium bodied. A nice malty flavor, balanced though. Sweetness is great for those who like this style. Higher alcohol is very deceptive to me. For an alternative to pricey Belgian imports, give this one a try.

Jul 30, 2009 12oz bottle that I was looking forward to. Its a hazy orange color with candied fruit smells and a slightly fruity taste with grainy notes.This tastes like a belgian amber to me. This is pretty good but due to the sweetness it takes a while to drink...

Jul 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy copper orange with a medium creamy off white head that lasts awhile leaving decent lacing along the glass. The aroma is a fruity malt with yeast and spice. Medium mouthfeel with a sweet malt taste with licorice and a nice spicy finish. Easy to drink hiding alcohol nicely, a very good Belgian strong ale from Allagash.

Jul 26, 2009 Poured amber with a fair bit of head. Flavor has a nice bit of fruitiness and winter spices. Very good beer. Batch 18, aged about 2 1/2 years. Held up very well, I kinda wish I would have sat on this for another 6 months, would be excellent on a cold day.

Jul 22, 2009 I drank this from the bottle into a chalice.
It darks dark clay red with a big creamy, long lasting light tan head and great lacing.
It smells sour like tea, and hints of hops and citrus.
Things were off to a good start and I had high hopes, then I drank it. Horrible.
There is light tea taste, overall its a very simple soft taste with lots of taste. There are hints of nutmeg and cinammon as well.
A very poor effort.

Jul 11, 2009 Orange Amber pour with white frothy. yeasty and sweet, earthy with some lemon zest. effervescent mouthfeel. cinnamon and clove spice and some fig and apple fruity notes. No reall alcohol presence, a very dry finish which leaves an oaky smokey taste in the throat. Very enjoyable

Jun 21, 2009 750 ml, batch 19. Amber with a lasting inch of meringue. Spicy clean aroma of earthy apple, with a twist of lemon juice and nutmeg. Front flavors are similar with some coriander and cinnamon notes. Finish is spicy toasted walnut and bitterish peat and oak. Medium body is creamy smooth, drinkable, and crisply dry on the finish.
