Allagash Grand Cru

Very dark cloudy copper coloring. An active, but thin white head. Aroma is bready with peaches and cherries. Hints of tobacco and clove. Slightly sweet. The taste is a dry apple and clove. Hints of grass and some earthy hops sneak in. This is a nice brew that will please those that do not like their Belgian Ales sweet.

Draft. Spicy aromas: ginger, coriander, cloves, and ripe fruit dominate the flavors of this beer. Aromas are lighter on this golden beaut. Yeast and the esters stand out. There is a richer background to the whole play here, too, with a lightly roasted, slightly nutty base to the beer. Full in the mouth and smooth on finish. Excellent American brew.

Wow. This. Is. Beer. !!! Malty, spicy and fruity this is a quintessential winter brew. A must try.

pours a hazy orange with a thick, well-retained head that clings well. refined spiciness to the nose, wonderfully absent any harsh medicinal qualities. also pleasant malty notes. flavor extremely interesting, with a light crisp malt charecter, some almost citrusy fruitiness, a light backing hop bitterness/flavor, and those spices. really comes together. very refreshing on the palate, too. excellent x-mas beer. batch #8

Cloudy amber color with a thin white head. Aroma of caramel, yeast and spices. Flavor of caramel, alcohol, yeast and spices. Light to medium body, confortable, creamy texture, soft carbonation.

Pours a slightly cloudy amber hue with a small off-white head. Aromas of yeast, malt and fairly flowery. Flavors of spices, malt with very little hop presence.

Poured a redish golden, with a creamy head. I smell fruit, like citris, and spices cinamin and nutmeg. This is starting strong, . The first taste is hop, which washes away from the bananna and clove. There is good lacing and a strange , yet appealing after taste. The lacing extends till te last drop, there is a nice amount of fizz, and this is a good beer.

A nice beer. Looks, smells and taste good. Speaking of beer, I think more people need to give the gift of beer for the holidays. How cool would that be?
