Commercial Description:
Allagash Brewing Company would like to introduce its Tenth Anniversary Ale, a special 10% ABV beer that celebrates 10 years of brewing artisinal Belgian Style ales. A unique interpretation of our flagship Allagash White, Tenth Anniversary is a blend of two different whites: a sweeter batch (brewed in February, 2005) and a drier batch (brewed in March, 2005). By blending the two batches, an additional complexity is imparted. Further complexity, most notably expressed by the delicate vanilla notes, was gained by aging some of the beer in new oak barrels.

A hazy orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet spicy combined with notes of peaches, alcohol, and hints of hops. The flavor is very sweet and very spicy - I detect coriander, but also a fruitiness with peaches coming thru. The end is dry and still spicy.

(750ml bottle) Hazy apple juice body with big off white head, most of which dissipates fairly quickly. Aroma is moderately sweet, orange, lemon, coriander, light pepper. Taste is moderately sweet, orange, lemon, some banana, cantalope, pepper, coriander, light herbal, alcohol. Creamy medium-full body that leaves a light coating on the tongue, some acidity in the finish. I was skeptical of the concept, but I should have known better than to doubt Allagash (other than for Curieux).
