PilsnerPeter (1631), Flushing, New York, USA Feb 1, 2008 Bottle thanks to Dickinsonbeer: Dark brown pour with tan head. Nice roasty aroma with a surprisingly yeasty character, along with coffee and roast. Creamy texture with a hint of sweetness from the chocolate and a nice balance from the coffee like resins. A decent, balanced Foreign Stout.
frankenkitty (1833), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA Dec 4, 2008 A soft yet sudsy mocha head fades rather quickly over a deep brown body bronzed with garnet highlights. Sweet grape/taffy aroma with chocolate malt and light roastiness beneath. Full and fluffy in the mouth. Flavor is chocolaty with moderately cloying sugars. Mild coffee roasts make attempts at bittering, but the sweetness is quite dominating. Some vinous notes in the finish. Drinking this was comparable to craving some high quality chocolate and biting into some cheapo off-brand. Drinkable, but I winced a lot. ~~~~~750 ml of unknown origin, consumed December 2008. JB175 (1420), Holland, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 30, 2008 Darker brown pour with a medium head. Aroma is a bit grainy with some light chocolate and dark bread. Flavor is mostly a brown ale thats light on the nuttiness and a tad heavier on the chocolate. Not bad, but pretty weak for Allagash. rcasta (339), El Salvador Nov 27, 2008 es una belga y no es tipo. nos la tomamos en el blackout segun hawener en la casa del gordo. no se que quiere decir eso ghawener (729), San Salvador, El Salvador Nov 26, 2008 Thanks to rcasta. Bottle: Drank during blackout, don´t have any great memories, just avg. gsmitty80 (550), Washington DC, USA Nov 20, 2008 This is a hard hitting stout. Very heavy on the chocolate and coffee malts but they are washed out by the high alchol content and smokiness. This is a great stout but nothing that screams unique or origional.
