| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 6, 2005 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, jerc & tupalev -- courtesy of GregClow. Pours a cloudy amber with a spare white head. First thing I noticed in the aroma was that it was hoppy and didn’t smell at all like the Abbaye des Rocs Grand Cru which is what I expected. It was also fruity, spicy and malty. The flavour was a nice balance of malt, spices, hops and yeast but a tad too sour for me. In a night of tasting many beers there were no others like it, it’s quite original. I’ve enjoyed all the Allagash beers I’ve had so far. Styles (1653), Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA

Lots of caramel/toffee with some fruit in the background. Initial flavor is all sweet malt, turns to fruit and candy sugar. Decent overall. Maybe a little too sweet in the finish. Leaves you thirsting for more though. Pailhead (2609), Allen Park, Michigan, USA

Pours a dull cloudy orange with a small white head that quickly diminishes to a ring. Toffee and banana bread up front with a moderate fruitiness throughout. Light flowery hops in the finish. Reminds me of a lot of scotch ale. Very good. GregClow (2515), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
