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.

Bottle - Lighter in color than expected... orangish golden color. Aromas of dried fruit, bread, and spices. Nice flavors of similar origin with an extra touch of yeast, and a slight sweet finish. Enjoyable belgian.

Batch 20. Pours with a large, fluffy, tan head over a clear copper body. Aroma is grassy, with coriander, Belgian Candi Sugar, alcohol and bread. Taste is candi sugar, grass, bread, and slightly metallic. Lively carbonation, dry mouthfeel.

Pours golden with an orange rich haziness and a light beige head. Smell is sweet and yeasty with light spice notes. Taste is sweet caramel, belgian yeast and body is full and creamy. Just too sweet and yeasty for me...

Bomber. Pours dark orange with a healthy head. Aroma of yeast, malt, and clove. Flavor has classic Allagash softness, yet it is simultaneously spicy throughout. I tasted soda cracker and dried fruit initially, complemented by mid-palate earthiness. Palate is characteristically “soft”, yet the finish is very dry. Overall a well-balanced Allagash offering, though perhaps not their best.

Cork almost took my face off. I took off the cork and it shot inches from my face, hit the ceiling, spraying beer allover my lap and macbook. Kind of an orangish amber pour with thick white head. Sweet, malty aroma. Flavor is pears, banana and spice, with a bit of bitterness in the back of the throat. Almost an herbal bitter finish. The sweetness is subdued, which I appreciate. Nice, well carbonated, typically belgian mouthfeel. Overall, good.

What a warming brew. Smell the sweet malts. Taste the balance of spice. Good look and feel upon drinking. Great brew.

Bouteille de 330 ml. Nos yeux observent une bière de couleur ambrée-orangée qui possède un col de mousse modeste. Au nez on respire des arômes de raisins, de fleur, de lilas, de citron, de pain, de pruneaux et de cassis. En bouche le corps est moyen avec une effervescence moyenne. On goûte des saveurs de cassis, de raisins, d’épices, de pain, de fleurs et de grain torréfiés. La finale présente une légère pointe d’alcool et d’amertume. Excellent
