Allagash Musette

Deep hazy brown/amber coloured body with a nice dense off-white head. Aroma of vanilla pods, alcohol, wheat, malt, bourbon, oak and strong spice. Full-bodied; Strong malty flavour with bunches of oak and even more alcohol and vanilla. Aftertaste has more of the same - a lot of strong tastes that last very long in the palate. Overall, a pretty good beer - strong as hell and great to try. I sampled this 75 cL bottle, created in May 2006, sampled on 18-May-2007, purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
