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.

750ml bottle. It’s been about 2 - 3 years since I’ve had this one. I am only now going through my list and adding ratings...I recall this one just after Yule season, very nice on a cold day, sweet and aromatic. Not too heavy and a nice head.

Batch 5 thanks to BBB63. Poured in to my Duvel tulip. Briliant clear amber with cherry and chestnut highlights. A billowing white head forms, and clings to the glass as it fades. Sugar, citrus, oak, smoke, can be detected in the aroma. The flavor is mostly candied fruits, and some yeast character. Nice body and easy to drink. Very mellow. Just caught some added spice. Nice. Thanks Mike.

(750 ml bottle (Batch 11) from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/portland/ target=blank>Downeast Beverage Co., cellared for 4 mos. after purchase) Pours a slightly hazy golden orange. About a half-inch of biscuit head. Aroma of citrus rind and yeast. Mouthfeel fairly light and very smooth, touch of prickly in finish. Spotty lacing. Taste has a citrusy quality, slight tang especially in finish. Get some notes of banana and grapefruit. Nicely warming. Elegant feel.

This may be my favorite beer by Allagash. Very nice palate and flavor. I love the golden color. The only 2 points that scored low w/ me was the fact that the aroma is fairly flat and that as I drank it, the Belgain lace did not stick to the glass at all.

Courtesy of Crizay <P> Full hoppy floral accented aroma, slightly yeasty. Deep amber to light orange in color with a two finger thick white head. Orange peel, coriander spiciness int he fore. Yeasty and bready with a mild apple fruitiness int he finish. Nice feel in the mouth and the flavor lingers nicely.

Lighter orange/amber, big thick white head. It really does have a belgian like aroma orange and coriander. The flavor is the same the dominant flavors are orange and coriander, orange peel, slight nutmeg, good tasting beer.

Bott. Golden brown with dead-head. Wow, it’s got coriander sweet spice aroma...what a surprise. The taste is a little more interesting, rooty, earthy, vege-fruits with plenty of coariander and a modest amount of sugar sweetness. Pleasant enough.
