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.

Bottled. A hazy deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, yeast, and some malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt and a bit of fruit, leading to a dry roasted finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Decent, nothing to crazy, no real strong taste and it has no lingering tastes worth mentioning.

Bottle. Pours a dark black hazy color with minimal brownish head. Aromas of chocolate, roasted malts, and a hint of coffee. Wonderful start with a stout mouthfeel that leads to a Belgium finish - perfection! Flavors of chocolate, malts, and hints of bananas. I will definitely purchase this beer going forward!
