Commercial Description:
Allagash Grand Cru is deep golden in color, and has a firm yet refined malty palate. Taste and aroma have suggestions of smoke and licorice, with subtle hints of fruit and spice. An excellent beer to enjoy during the cooler seasons.

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.

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….

12 oz bottle-pours a big rich to shaving cream light tan head that laces and hazy amber color. Aroma is medium malt-musty caramel, herbal-ginger. Taste is lots of medium malt/grainy-musty caramel, secondary spices/herbal-ginger, faint medium/dark fruit, smooth, malty, yeasty. Nice mouth feel. Soft carbonation works well.

Pours a foggy amber colour with a giant overflowing white head. 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. Wicked nice!

Great copper/ golden brown color. When poured with a head you get a nice aroma of citrus and spice. Very refreshing drink that goes down easily. Paired nice with Chilean sea bass dish.

750ml bottle. Batch # 15. Copper color with a one fingered head. Aroma is wildflower honey, citrus, candi sugar, and light spice. Silky body. Initial flavor is malt sweetness, black pepper, moderate spice, citrus,and light fruits (apples/pears). Finish is nicely balanced with lingering spice & light fruits along with some warming alcohol.

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...
