| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 24, 2008 Lovely heady nose, somewhat floral, with lots of sweet light fruits and spice. I love the nose, was not overly crazy about the palate, a little too over the top on the spices, extremely herbal and almost bitter at times, only saving grace is the sweet malty background. Decent but not the best offering from Allagash. scraff (1955), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 20, 2008 750 ml - Dark hazed amber, thick creamy white head with near perfect lacing. Soft caramel pear aromas ride lighter waves of crushed coriander and fuzzy fruits. Warming brings out light bready peppery-like tones. Yeasty dried apricot and peppery spice flavors round with a light hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry spiced finish. A very nice sipper on a cool spring night…. jcwattsrugger (5573), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

The head sticks around until the end. nice retention and a sticky lacing residue left on the glass. Tastes of carmel, lightly roasted malts and a hint of cotton candy.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 18, 2008 This, out of the dubbel, trippel and white, I like the best out of this lineup. Nice and sweet, light yeast, and the apple hints are nice. Nice bite on the tongue as well, good balance of the carbonation, not too much, but helps make the drink refreshing. Color and glass display are much like everybody else describes...
