Thanks to Blake for opening the 750mL! Poured medium copper with a tall, creamy cap of white head.. sticky lacing as it descended. The aroma picked up sweet honey, red grapes, and vanilla over a caramel and pale malt base.. a touch spicy with oak and some warmth.. quite syrupy and sweet on the back. The flavor found honey and redder grape sweetness at the core with more vanilla, alcohol warmth, and peppery character on the edges.. finished quite sweet and warm. Medium-bodied and well-carbonated on the palate.. again a bit too sweet, but overall a very good brew.

Nov 29, 2009 2009-11-27. Golden yellow body with a modest foamy white head and light lace. 3+ Aroma is a bit alcoholic, dry malt, pale, light fruity character. Flavour is quite dry, modestly alcoholic, pale malts, fruity character, modest grapes. 7+ Average plus palate. Decent, enjoyable, but not Allagash’s best. Bottle from Binny’s, Chicago.

Nov 28, 2009 [2599-20091127] 750mL bottle. Pencil lead yeast aroma. Slightly hazy, light orange yellow body with a medium-lasting foamy white head. Sweet thick yeasty flavour hints at old citrus. Medium body. Not sure about this, it started off well.

Pours a rich gold with a lively body and a thick head of white that leaves artwork along the glass. Aroma is a wheaty, grassy, Pilsnery cotton ball. Flavor is a coppery ball of yeast and slight plumb bread. A sweet, syrupy note lingers in the background and in the finish. Decent mouthfeel. Not the best beer I’ve had but it’s not bad. For the price tag, however, I won’t be buying anymore.

Nov 11, 2009 On tap at flying saucer. Pours a clear copper golden with a small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a fruity floral hop. Thib mouthfeel with a fruity hop flavor that hides the alcohol well making it easy to drink. A very good belgian strong ale from allagash.

Nov 8, 2009 Sampled from 750 ml bottle and shared by deliriumfest. Pours a hazy golden orange colored brew with a thick off-white head that has some nice retention. Aroma of golden grain malt, coriander, allspice, a hint of dark grapes and Belgian yeast. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of dark pitted fruits, yeast, a hint of coriander and some alcohol. Finish is slightly metallic with a lingering coriander and fruit aftertaste. Nice alcohol warmth in the finish.

Nov 7, 2009 Hazy golden-orange, small white head but plenty of lacing. Light grape and grain in the nose, rather grassy with light yeast and apple. Moderately vinous, grape-skin flavor moderate yeast hints of pepper, and some alcohol. Spritzy, juicy body, a little sticky and with a long grape finish. Good for winos and grape-lovers, otherwise pretty standard and lacks the backing that makes Rosso’s grape-wine combo special. Probably my least favorite special beer from Allagash.

Nov 6, 2009 Pours to a coppery body with a nice off white head that dissipates rather quickly. The aroma is barley and winey with some sweet toffee and candi sugar. Some very interesting things in this one. The flavor is Belgian yeasts and grapes with some seemingly Belgian pale malts. Yeasty. The palate is medium bodied with some lingering mouth-watering.
