Apr 16, 2006 Batch 5 thanks to BBB63. Poured in to my Duvel tulip. Briliant clear amber with cherry and chestnut highlights. A billowing white head forms, and clings to the glass as it fades. Sugar, citrus, oak, smoke, can be detected in the aroma. The flavor is mostly candied fruits, and some yeast character. Nice body and easy to drink. Very mellow. Just caught some added spice. Nice. Thanks Mike.

About a half-inch of biscuit head. Aroma of citrus rind and yeast. Mouthfeel fairly light and very smooth, touch of prickly in finish. Spotty lacing.

Mar 31, 2006 This may be my favorite beer by Allagash. Very nice palate and flavor. I love the golden color. The only 2 points that scored low w/ me was the fact that the aroma is fairly flat and that as I drank it, the Belgain lace did not stick to the glass at all.

Mar 24, 2006 Bott. Golden brown with dead-head. Wow, it’s got coriander sweet spice aroma...what a surprise. The taste is a little more interesting, rooty, earthy, vege-fruits with plenty of coariander and a modest amount of sugar sweetness. Pleasant enough.

Mar 20, 2006 Bottle (Batch 12): Dull caramel, large off-white head, foamy, good lacing, light to moderate carbonation. Semi-sweet yeasy/bready nose, slightly floral, very light spices/herbs. Dull yeasty flavor, muted spices, herbs, and flora. Not what I would have expected out of a Grand Cru. Moderate to full body. Lingering herbs and breadiness. Good, but not what I remembered from years ago. Thanks John for the bottles!
