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.

Batch # 10. Pours from the bottle a slightly hazy amber-orange hue producing a loosely bubbled off-white and quickly fading head. Aroma is predominantly fruity-sweet and floral with a faint musty/earthy background. Pleasant smells of freshly cut pears,peaches, oranges, bananas and roasted almonds are at the forefront with subtle notes of fresh bread dough, cloves, wet earth, and wheat grass lurking in the background. Mouthfeel is full-bodied and round with a slightly elevated level of carbonation. Flavor profile was a bit more reserved compared to the aromas. Taste was initially fruity and sweet with notes of fresh orange juice, peach and pear upfront with hints of nuts, cloves, caramel malt and coriander making a contribution. Found the finish to be dry but a tad harsh and perhaps astringent. Kind of a odd contrast to the overall sweet and fruity profile of this beer. Maybe I need to sample a fresher batch next time.

Another really nice beer from Allagash. While having this nearly at the same time as the Dubbel, this was my least favorite of the two. It was still nice though. Aroma was musty with some fruits and yeast. Appearance was a hazy deep burnt orange with a nice off-white head. Flavors were yeast, fruty, malty with a twinge of hops present. Mouthfeel is full and round.

Pours very nicely. Aroma is sweet. Appearance is perfectly dark brown with a thin lacey head. Mouthfeel is smooth and sweet. Lasting after taste of malts. Flavor is full of carbinated malts. Overall a good beer thats worth a try.

Bottle. Pour is a hazy, dark amber color with a small, dense head. Aromas are of bananas, cloves, citrus and yeast. Flavor includes all of the above, but is a bit less full than I expected. It’s not watery, but it’s not really strong, either.
