May 16, 2008 This unconventional stout claims a great heritage from the baltic stouts, but relies on the dryness of a good proper English stout to get its point across. Great nose of coffee and bitter chocolate. Long, but dry finish is unusual. Plenty of barley, wheat, oats, and a generous roast on the beer. Really one of the better big bottle offerings of Allagash and a great brew.

May 16, 2008 A beer that definitely doesn’t live up to its name...where’s the black??? This beer is a deep rich mahogany. Anyway, the aroma isn’t as pungeant as others but exhibits Belgian chocolate, dark roasted coffee, and perhaps a little toffee. Doesn’t really coat the palate when and ends with a dryer, more chalky finish. A bit disappointing.

May 15, 2008 On tap at Trappeze. Dark brown, almost black, pour with a big offwhite head. Aroma is a little weak but there’s some roasted malt and chocolate. Taste is very nicely malted, with chocolate, coffee, and some light smoke. Mouth is very carbonated, which gives this a nice balance.

May 14, 2008 On tap at Pizza Port Carlsbad, tried alongside a fresh pint of Black Lie. Black center with a bit of fizz, not much head. Maroon edges, aroma of smoke and ashy notes. Lots of carbonation, simple flavor of roasted chocolate, grains and light licorice; minimal complexity. Ends very dry and it is medium bodied.

May 10, 2008 A very dark cola brown with a light khaki head. Heavy carbonation. Perhaps a little too much. Fairly dry chocolate, a little anise note in the back. I The mouthfeel remains a little foamy even when the head recedes because of the high carbonation.
