Jan 19, 2009 Bottle. Hoppy spicy aroma. Light orange body, huge dense rocky white head. One of the better and more interesting Allagash offerings. Flavor is fruity and hoppy, refreshing, and for a change not too sweet.

Oct 5, 2008 750ml - Poured a darkish reddish amber in color with a fairly big whitish head that settled to a creamy foam over the beer. Some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is an interesting combination of Belgian yeast and plenty of citrus and herbal hops... really nice. Flavor is much more about the bready yeast than the hops. Hops make themselves known at the end... both in a nice hoppy flavor and some finishing bitterness. Unusual hoppiness for a Belgian, but a welcome (and *very* interesting) change from the usual Belgian Strong Ale. I really like this one...

Mar 28, 2009 Dank yeast and fruit in the aroma. Cloudy light brown color with a large almond head. This one exploded all over when I opened it. Sweet beginning with a tart finish. Sweet sticky palate.

Feb 5, 2009 Poured from a 750ml caged and corked bottle and served in a tulip. This beer poured lightly hazed dark golden with a thick, rocky head of light beige foam. Excellent retention and lacing. The aroma was made up of strong lemony/orange citrus notes, a solid amount of caramel, and also some mildly spicy yeast esters. The flavor was lightly peppery, full of bright citrus, and had a sturdy caramel backbone. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and had light carbonation. This is a tasty beer, but it really lacks any Belgian or yeast character. It comes across as more of a regular IPA.

Apr 12, 2008 750 ml bottle. Shared with Bartzilla and a bunch of others. Nice color, nice aroma and a great name. Unfortunately, the beer wasn’t great, although it was pretty good. Some interesting sour flavors were a bit of a distraction. Bottle says this was $22. No way in hell was it worth that kind of coin.

Nov 28, 2008 Bottle. Moderate to heavy malt aromas of roasted, bread and caramel, light lemon and perfume for the hops, light to moderate notes of dough and earth for the yeast with hints of wood, wine and apple. Head is small, creamy, white with very little lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is murky tan. Flavorstarts slightly sweet and moderately acidic, then finishes moderately acidic and bitter. Palate is medium, oily and has a lively carbonation. A nice earthy beer, definitely a quality Belgian Strong.

Apr 21, 2009 Cloudy amber with a nice head. Earthy aroma with some sweet notes. Flavor starts out sweet and then the hop bitters come in. Crisp and clean. Very good.
