Commercial Description:
Allagash Black, our new Belgian style stout, is brewed with German 2 row barley, Torrified wheat and oats, balanced by a large addition of Belgian dark candi to give the Black a full and silky mouthfeel. Roasted malts give this stout its classic chocolate, toast and malty taste, and contribute to chocolate notes and a hint of roasted coffee in the aroma. The Black is fermented with a Belgian yeast strain and refermented in the bottle with the methode champenoise to make this beer truly unique. Availability: 750 ml bottles, 5.17 gal kegs ABV: 7.5% Original Gravity: 1.072 Recommended Serving Temperature: 55°F Recommended Cellaring Temperature: 55°F

Draft...I was hopeful about this beer. Very dark in color, very much like a brown more so than a stout. Average sweetness. Little head. Carbonation was minimal. Alcohol not really noticeable. One thing I did not like was that it went flat quickly. May try again.

Bottle. Almost black beer with a nice tan head. Light roasty, light yeasty, caramel malt aroma. Light roasty, coffee, caramel flavor with earthy yeast and a bit of woodsy hops. Medium bodied. Lingering earthy yeast, caramel, and light roast. Lighter than other Belgian stouts, but nice.

Tap @ Blind Tiger. Pours a deep brown to almost black with a lacy white head. Aroma is roasted malt and that unmistakable Belgian yeast characteristic. Taste is a wonderful experience of light roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and Belgian yeast, remaining smooth throughout. Finish is crisp and the alcohol isn’t noticeable in the least. Very enjoyable experience, and another hit from our boys in Maine.

Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured a black color with an average frothy off-white head that lasted and produced good lacing. Good roasted malt aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture. Complex roasted stout flavor with a medium bittersweet smooth finish of moderate to long duration. Very well balanced standout beer.

Pours dark brown/black with tan head. Aroma of burnt malts and some smokiness. Flavor is sweet roasted malts. Mouthfeel is a bit thin, more like a porter than a stout. Still, it is a very well made beer that is very tasty.

Bomber. Near black color, big foamy head. Nuts and coffee on the nose and flavor. Very burnt and roasty flavored, both in a good way. Some more bread flavors than typical of a stout. Really enjoyable beer that’s quite easy to drink. Interesting and would go wonderfully with heavy food.
