Pours mahogany into a trappist glass. Micro head quickly subsides to skim rim and bubble the center. Fig and bourbon aromas. Upfront sticky sweet caramel with a dry, lasting slightly sour oaked bourbon finish.

Sampled from 22 oz. bottle. Distinctly different from the Dubbel. Orange peel and coriander burst out of the nose. Color is just a shade darker than a pilsner, may be even be a tad lighter than the dubbel. Taste is orangey and grainy. Any extra sugar in the brew is not too apparent, as thereβs a well hidden hop balance to keep this enjoyable. Alcohol is also very well hidden, so be careful with this one.

Sampled from bottle. Very malty smell. Dark brown in appearance, Holds a head well. Has a grainy sweetness instead of the expected Belgian sugars. Low carbonation contributes to a slightly thin mouthfeel.

A hazy deep red beer with a thick light orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, but also a light dusy straw note of hops. The flavor is sweet malty again with caramel being strongest, combined with a boring note of spices and brown sugar, as well as a light note of smoke. The end is dry with a light note of wood.

Batch 66. Cloudy, golden body with large, soft white head. Big and inviting aroma of spice and fruits β clove, passion fruit, orange, banana. Multiple flavors emerge from a flowery bitter backbone, ripe sweet fruits, clove, honey, pepper. Medium body with smooth, creamy palate that seems to be a hallmark of Allagash. Sticky and long, dry finish. Warming alcohol. Outstanding.

Pours cloudy ruby/amber into a tulip. Fluffy off-white micro head leaves receding sheet lacing. Apple and apricot aromas. Full and sweet with upfront caramel apple and a lasting slightly bitter alcohol finish. Just read the excellent commercial description -- it is spot-on.

A hazy orange beer with a lazing orange head. The aroma is sweet and very spicy - especially coriander comes thru, but it also has light notes of oranges. The flavor is sweet - somewhat too sweet and sticky for my liking, with notes of malt, oranges, and peaches, leading to an end with a slight alcohol burn.
