Jan 10, 2009 Pours a two-finger cream head that fades slowly to a ring leaving some lace. Totally black color. Medium carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Raisin/malty nose. Flavor is sweet, raisin, hints of oak. The high ABV is hidden. Bottled Jan 2008. Over the top but worth trying at $17.00 for a 750ml bottle from a Tully’s Beer & Wine Wells, ME.

Dec 28, 2008 Got to try this beer thanks to the girlfriend being crazy and buying it for me. Bottle, pours dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of caramel, dark fruit, and a boat load of malt. Smooth body, 10.4% well hidden. Flavor is of dark fruit and malt. The oak is there in both the flavor and aroma. Good stuff, I enjoyed it.

Caged/Corked
Bottled: Jan 08
Poured into my St. Bernardus Watou glass a very very nice brown color, very nice carbonation, awesome thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, tons of thick/creamy sticky lacing left behind. Then nose is malty, with some yeast, plums, figs, and raisins, very nice notes of Oak. The taste is sweet, malty, yeasty, with some nice dark fruit tones, and with notes of Oak. Full body, the alcohol is hidden very well. Very drinkable, this is an awesome brew, Allagash did a fabulous job with this one, highly recommended. Thanks Joe.

Oct 22, 2008 2006 bottle thanks to bu11zeye...Really good stuff. Pours with a small, off-white head that doesnt last long, covering a huge, hazy, dark brown body. Aroma of snickerdoodle cookies, a bit of barrel, a bit of dust, cinnamon, graham cracker, brown sugar, spiced rum cake...at slightly complex, if not very good. Taste is spicey, sugary, with a bit of cookie, and barrel. Very good, some vanilla traits... great sipper. Syrupy boddy with light bubbles. Alcohol is decenetly hidden.
