Commercial Description:
Allagash Grand Cru is deep golden in color, and has a firm yet refined malty palate. Taste and aroma have suggestions of smoke and licorice, with subtle hints of fruit and spice. An excellent beer to enjoy during the cooler seasons.

Pours very nicely. Aroma is sweet. Appearance is perfectly dark brown with a thin lacey head. Mouthfeel is smooth and sweet. Lasting after taste of malts. Flavor is full of carbinated malts. Overall a good beer thats worth a try.

Bottle. Pour is a hazy, dark amber color with a small, dense head. Aromas are of bananas, cloves, citrus and yeast. Flavor includes all of the above, but is a bit less full than I expected. It’s not watery, but it’s not really strong, either.

Pours a cloudy orange with a nice white head. Lots of grape in both the aroma and the taste, as well as some light citrus (orange, maybe?), banana, and cinnamon. Not a great example of the style but more drinkable than some other, possibly better examples, of the style. Hopefully that makes sense.

Batch 14. Pours a slightly hazy golden orange color with off-white head. Aroam of malts, dried fruit and yeast. Taste was fruit, mild spices, lightly sweet maltiness. Mellow and medium bodied beer. Quite enjoyable.

Bottle: Pours rusty golden color (can gold rust? oh well) with a small white head. I smell a bit of a peach, or some fruit similar. The taste is a bit banana in flavor, but only a little. I also taste a hint of some other fruit, maybe a bit of peach an raisin. This is smooth, but isn’t really strong in the taste category.
