Nov 15, 2007 (bottle): Don’t know much about it, except that it cost $17 for a 750mL bottle, 2-4 times what I normally buy.. Pours a medium brown color, very murky. Off-tan head, big & lasting. Big bubbles & good lacing. Very effervescent, lignt floral aroma. Not as dark or heavy an aroma as a belgian strong. Also there’s a sharp smell, not quite metallic. But kind of plasticy. Uh oh...I think that usually means something bad. Sharp strong taste, with that same plasticy but more dull. Spicy aftertaste. Warming up some more...Not as plasticy and the flavors are a little more muted. Spicy somewhat hoppy & not too dark or heavy. More perfumy & floral. Goes well with salty chips & salsa. Tasty beer.

Nov 11, 2007 (750ml bottle) Purchased at Bottleworks in Seattle for $9.99. Great yeasty nose, peppermint and vanilla. Very good leaf, teaa and tonic flavour. Its so smooth, creamy and yeasty fantastic. Lemon in the finish presents a happy journey.

Nov 7, 2007 Bottle (750ml - corked & caged). Shared with blankboy, GregClow, jerc and tupalev - my bottle. Slightly cloudy copper pour with a huge (heh) fluffy tan head. Aroma- sharp, dry, spicy and boozy. Taste - way too pungently floral, bitter and dead spice, not much malt profile, just boozy, astringent and pungently, drily bitter. Not horrid, but I really didn’t like it that much.

Oct 31, 2007 Minor gushing. Hazed amber with a denseish creamy tan colored head. Sweet malt chines through. Light tutti fruity. A small amount of cookie? A bit of alcohol, a little spicy. Maybe that’s the hops? (Aha, I see Simcoe hops, that explains the spicy tutty fruity!). Thin on the carbonation. Not watery, a bit creamy. Big bold flavor. Fruity. A bit boozy, but not in a bad way. Spicy hops show up. A little sharp and tannic even. Still some tutti fruity, a dry finish indeed.

Oct 30, 2007 Bottle. Hazy orange amber body, moderate creamy fluffy off-white head (3+). Interesting hoppy aroma, lightly floral and fruity. Bitter flavour with weird undertones of tangerine/orange melange. Dry rough alcohol makes brief fleeting appearances. The beer finishes rather strangely, like an IPA that met up with a Belgian yeast but was not overly thrilled with the prospect of long term co-habitation. Average palate. Disappointing, and a bit odd. Expected better from Allagash. 7/3+/6+/3/13

Oct 27, 2007 Bottle. Murky orange-brown color with a soapy head. Herb and spice aroma - thyme, mint, nutmeg, cinnamon, coriander, pepper. Flavor is similar, but has a washed out finish. Not worth the 13 bucks I paid for it though.

Oct 26, 2007 Bottle. Pours decent cheddar yellow with an aroma of peach preserves and yeast. Very yeasty flavor with hints of dull orange and peach. Average mouthfeel. Not worth the price ($18) I paid for it. I’ve had better for half the cost.
