Allagash Odyssey is a dark wheat beer aged for four months, a portion in oak barrels and the remainder in stainless tanks. The grain bill includes 2-row barley, malted wheat and a generous amount of roasted barley. This deep brown beer boasts an aroma of black treacle and raisin. Candi sugar, a traditional ingredient in some Belgian beer, is added during the boil. The flavor hints at dates, with a mildly roasted finish imparted by aging in both medium and heavy toasted American oak barrels. It has a dry finish, punctuated by vanilla.

Draught. Poured dark with almost no head. Flavors were mild bit of dark fruits and wood, consistency was a bit watery. COuld have used a bit more bite IMO.

dark hazy pour, big full offwhite head. Aroma is fruity, some cherries, apples, maybe some apricot, with a touch of smoke, and sweet malt. Flavour is very nice, lots of sweet malt, with a good dose of caramel, and some sweet tobacco, and smoke. A very complex beer, i’m sure i missed many nuances, but what i had i really enjoyed.

Bottled feb 2005, bottle from Dickinsonbeer, thanks! Dark brown color. Porto, sherry notes, raisin and dsut in the aroma. Oak and vanilla. Oaky flavor with vanilla and raisin, milk chocolate, porto notes, hazelnuts and some warming alcohol. Amazing omplexity. Toffee notes in the long aftertaste. Characterful and lovely brew.

From kapppldav123. Thanks for sharing! Pours out black, nearly no head. Smooth choco with barrelwood and some fuity smell. Taste is more a soft version. Malty with barrel wood influences. Low alcoholic. Brown sugar elements. Maybe not the freshest bottle as kappldav123 said?

Bottle looks good. Beer in the glass dark black, small head. Malty-stouty aroma. Starts intense malty, earthy, rusty. Modest dry. But also some washy-watery notes. Finish flat. Probably a bit past its prime. Still okay.
