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 a deep hazy golden-amber color, nose is like a bag of rotten potpouri, taste is super boozy, well too overcarbonated, grab bag of spices, anise, pepper, dark candy sugar, just not my taste at all.

KyotoLefty (3480) - Kyoto, JAPAN - JUL 18, 2010
Bottle about 2 years old. Oxidized aroma with honey and citrus. Cloudy orange color. Flavors of cereals, honey, lemon, slightly peppery finish. Spicy, with coriander, and peaches. Rich, thicik, andsmooth. Tripel-like, decent though not spectacular. Maybe a bit too much spice, and probably better fresher.

sinkr (322) - Lusby, Maryland, USA - JUL 1, 2010
.750->Trappist (batch #19): pours an offwhite, dim head atop a murky, orange body. A good bit of sediment is visible in the pour. Aroma of clove and concord grapes. Medium body, medium flavor duration. Lightly sweet, moderately bitter and an astringent finish. A nice beer from a good brewery.

batch 5 bottle shared by BBB. 7-8 years old? notes of watery sherry, fruity. doughy. seems to be fading. first time trying this, but pretty sure its past its prime. some light cardboard notes setting in. mike says spices have faded as well, which were a prominent component of the beer in its youth.
