Feb 19, 2009 Max’s 72 Hour Belgian Fest - Hazed amber orange, creamy white head (great lacing). Deep peppery oak and soft vanilla funk aromas ride warming swirls of berry bread custard from start to finish. Complex dried vanilla clove and black peppered berry flavors round extremely well with a near perfect hop bitterness. Additional notes of yeasty funk play out at room temp. Medium to full bodied and smooth throughout. This one was best of show during my Friday drinking adventure. Fantastic stuff…

Nov 18, 2009 One of my favorites from Allagash. Had it on tap at Blind Tiger. Poured a nice, hazy gold with a medium head. Nose of sweet malts and some wild yeast. Flavor was very sweet, with strong notes of honey and yeast. Smooth on the finish with a pleasant warming sensation from the ABV. Really good.

Jun 20, 2009 Tap at Capones, today, psyched to see an Allagash beer that I haven’t had before, especially on tap. Pours orange with a bright white ring. Nose is sweet, light. Taste is wow wow wow, supre tasty, light citrus, excellent vinous dry character.

Dec 17, 2008 Tap at Blind Tiger. Pours a clear golden copper with a quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is malt, bread notes, wheat notes, with vanilla, clove, herb, and banana detectable as well. Taste was roughly the same, with doughy malt up front dissolving into a wonderful symphony that evoked vanilla, clove, coriander, banana, herbs, and Belgian yeast. The finish is exceptional with a barely there hop bite right at the end. Incredibly smooth.

Dec 20, 2008 Draught @ BTAH. Pours a hazy gold, white head. Nose stays underneath; some yeast, bit of apricot, a bit grassy. Taste is sweet up front, more apricot, but balanced from the beginning by the yeast and a fresh grassy hoppiness that carries just a hint of barnyard funk with it, coupled with a dry, light malt sweetness. Finish is interesting, bit yeasty and rich, with some sweet fruity esters, and a a lingering grassy bitterness that takes a bit to emerge after every sip. I even got a hint of white grapes later in the glass. Ever changing. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, with a sparkling carbonation. Aspects of a nice, crisp blonde and a saison, all with a bit more oomf. Fantastic.

Apr 19, 2009 Draft at Rattle ’n Hum. Poured a slightly hazy light orange color. The head was white and left some lace behind. Attractive nose of clove, ginger, flower blossom, and vanilla. Medium bodied and semi sweet. The flavors followed the aromas somewhat. Yeasty bread dough, honey, subdued clove, and ginger came together nicely. Good stuff.

Apr 16, 2009 Draft at Capone’s. Pours turbid deep canary with off-white fluffy head. Nose is spicy florals, yeast, citrus, funk, and hops. Tastes citric, hoppy, with rock sugary malt, funk, florals, and yeast spice. Nice complxity and balance in this, although thetipping for balance in a beer that throws this much at you is definitely subject to debate. Well done, as with all Rob Tod’d beers.
