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.

Bottle from total wine. I like the Allagash family of beers, this one is no exception. Amber pour with a nose of spices, sweet citrus, and yeast. Flavor is very nice. Malty, fruity, spicy and some candy sugar/caramel. Nice!!

Pours a pinkish amber with white head. Aroma is VERY grapefruit forward, especially when cold. Malts appear as the beer warms. Flavor, however, is fruit and yeast. Typical Belgian. Very nice.

Corked and caged big boy, wanna say I bought this in late 2005 or early 2006 (and it’s now Nov 08). Batch #12. Very spicy nose, lemon with orange peel and just a touch of cleaner, with smooth refined coriander undulating and carrying the malt to shore. Hazy orange with amber highlights, dark with a noisy beige head. Taste is extremely spicy with a nice, thick, rich fruity malt base, citrus on top of caramel and - yes! - butterscotch in droves. A bit estery with a nice chalky yeast finish and a reasonably dry finish. Has the body of this alcohol content without the bite. Lasting, gentle prickling from top-to-bottom carbonation. Balanced, restrained, and very pleasurable.

Batch #18. Pours cloudy amber with white head. Aroma of spices, licorice and citrus. Slightly fruity flavor, spices (corriander?), licorice and yeast. Medium body with lively carbonation.

Bouteille de 12oz. Orange rouilleée brumeuse, petit collet. arome légé de malte épicé, houblon parfumé. Goût malté simple, mais des bonnes notes d’agrumes épicé, par contre elle a une finission aquese. Elle est bonne mais elle porait être plus!

Hazy amber pour with fluffy white head. Mixed aroma of yeast and spices. Complex flavors consisting of malts, wood, smoke, caramel, and spices. Dry finish, slightly acidic.

The color of preserved amber with a filling fluff head. Wonderfully complex aroma of spices and yeast. Notes of pepper and a twinge of uric acid. Light string of smoke. Some licorice in flavor along with spicy caramel sweetness. Not a lot of zing, but flavorful all the same.

Pours a cloudy grapefruit colored body. Has a small head that leaves a rather thin lacing. Really strong fruity aroma... ironically in conjunction with the appearance: grapefruit. Strong fruity taste. Heavy on the malts. Kind of burnt taste in a way. Medium bodied. And it has a bitter dry finish with a mild aftertaste.
