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. Pours deep brown with nice head. Aroma is of wild fruits with standard belgian yeast and malt. Taste of malt and fruits. Not bad, not grand.

Bottle @ Brewery. Deep brown head with Belgian yeast nose. Sour fruits, malt, yeast, warmth...quite nice. Is it worth the price??

Nose of white wine, alcohol and fruit. Body is an apricot color with no head or lace. Flavor is fruity - sugared plum, sour grape and alcohol. Finish is crisp.

This beer pours a deep reddish-brown. It has a heavy aroma of bread, yeast, sweet light fruit and spices. It tastes like it smells, and is pretty straightforward for a Grand Cru. Not a lot of depth; good, but not stellar.

Batch 10, 750ML Bottle. Pours a cloudy amber color with a nice white head. Aroma is fruits, spices and yeast. Flavor is malt, spices, yeast, fruits. Pretty good, but I don’t think i’ll be seeking it out again anytime soon.

Pours a somewhat cloudy golden. Aroma is bread dough and spice. Sweet malty taste with spices and some citrus fruitiness. Pretty decent!

750 ml bottle - Notes are a little vague on this one. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a large off white head. Light lacing. Aroma is esters and spice. Flavor is bready malt, esters, and spice. Medium body. A nice beer.

Pours a nice amber color with a soft white head leaving some lacing and lasted with the glass. Smell of some coriander and very breadlike, but not real exciting. Taste is bread-y, with some spices coming into play as well. Seemed a bit simple, I seem to have missed out on some of the fruit flavors others have described; different batch? Mouthfeel felt like too much carbonation and lighter side of medium bodied. This was probably worth a try, but I don’t think I’ll be seeking this one out again.
