Allagash Grand Cru

Delightfully spicy, sweet flavor warms the stomach on contact. Would liken it to a bit lesser-bodied Sierra Nevada Celebration. Try it while sitting by the fire after a fine day of snowshoeing.

Had a batch 8...bottled late 03 I think. This was a really tasty beer with the stew I made. Poured a pale gold with a nice cream colored head. Aroma was very spicy and citrusy. The flavor is slightly malty, very spicy, and has a little bit of nice bitterness to close it out. The mouthfeel is perfect for what it is...light bodied and a bit warming.

Golden-amber body with fine particulate matter and a modest beige head. Aroma of coriander, clove, pepper, and oranges. Nicely balanced flavor of peppery phenols, spice, mild alcohol, warm toasty malt, citrus, light bubble gum, honey sweetness and some herbal hops plus gentle bitterness. A good, very drinkable Belgian-style American beer.

Wine like texture and syrupy sweetness. Caramel/toffee/licorice/weird spiciness/dried fruits/dates/and peppers. Alcohol fumes and burn as it warms. Pretty interesting!

Bottle. Deep mahogany, with a spicy, yeasty nose. Flavors of coriander, fruit, with a slight peppery smokiness. An excellent beer.

A solid effort! This brew trys to be alot of things. What they are, i do not know. What it does succeed in, is being very good. Not a suprise. Portland is one of the most under rated party towns on the map.

A pleasurable assault on the senses. The fairly extraordinary & powerful aroma accurately foretells the fruit, spices & eye-popping heartiness awaiting the taster. Maybe a bit of alcohol burn in there as well? The intense, "chewy" flavor of this brew inhabits your system, props its feet up, and stays awhile. Guaranteed to warm up any Winter evening. A winner.
