markwise (1132), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA Aug 2, 2008 This beer pours a deep reddish-brown. It has a heavy aroma of bread, yeast, sweet light fruit and spices. It tastes like it smells, and is pretty straightforward for a Grand Cru. Not a lot of depth; good, but not stellar. rustychiles (997), Mesa, Arizona, USA Jul 15, 2008 Batch 10, 750ML Bottle.
Pours a cloudy amber color with a nice white head. Aroma is fruits, spices and yeast. Flavor is malt, spices, yeast, fruits. Pretty good, but I don’t think i’ll be seeking it out again anytime soon. wxman (582), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA Jul 13, 2008 Pours a somewhat cloudy golden. Aroma is bread dough and spice. Sweet malty taste with spices and some citrus fruitiness. Pretty decent! cbkschubert (1945), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA Jul 11, 2008 750 ml bottle - Notes are a little vague on this one. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a large off white head. Light lacing. Aroma is esters and spice. Flavor is bready malt, esters, and spice. Medium body. A nice beer. badbeer (432), Iowa, USA Jul 5, 2008 Pours a nice amber color with a soft white head leaving some lacing and lasted with the glass. Smell of some coriander and very breadlike, but not real exciting. Taste is bread-y, with some spices coming into play as well. Seemed a bit simple, I seem to have missed out on some of the fruit flavors others have described; different batch? Mouthfeel felt like too much carbonation and lighter side of medium bodied. This was probably worth a try, but I don’t think I’ll be seeking this one out again.
BlackDonald (1127), Boise, Idaho, USA Jun 24, 2008 Lovely heady nose, somewhat floral, with lots of sweet light fruits and spice. I love the nose, was not overly crazy about the palate, a little too over the top on the spices, extremely herbal and almost bitter at times, only saving grace is the sweet malty background. Decent but not the best offering from Allagash. scraff (1921), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Jun 20, 2008 750 ml - Dark hazed amber, thick creamy white head with near perfect lacing. Soft caramel pear aromas ride lighter waves of crushed coriander and fuzzy fruits. Warming brings out light bready peppery-like tones. Yeasty dried apricot and peppery spice flavors round with a light hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry spiced finish. A very nice sipper on a cool spring night…. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Jun 14, 2008 12 oz bottle-pours a big rich to shaving cream light tan head that laces and hazy amber color. Aroma is medium malt-musty caramel, herbal-ginger. Taste is lots of medium malt/grainy-musty caramel, secondary spices/herbal-ginger, faint medium/dark fruit, smooth, malty, yeasty. Nice mouth feel. Soft carbonation works well.
