Batch 66. Cloudy, golden body with large, soft white head. Big and inviting aroma of spice and fruits — 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.

I dont know, is it just me or is this beer just a freaking mess. Dont get me wrong i like Allagash and I wanted to like this but it hasnt worked out. I first had this when it hit selves in NYC and just had it again tonight at the Collins bar. Its like there really arent any good Scotch aspects, weak Belgian aspects and its over hopped for what its trying to do. The nose comes off hoppy, there really is no strony maltiness or roastiness, and there is a slight belgian sweetness that really seems to be wasted. I thought it needs time but I dont seem what aspects could improve. You want to try a good Belgian Scotch ale look for Glazen Toren Canaster.

Pours a light amber into a trappist glass. Sour barnyard and rose aromas. Fizzy, dry and crisp with a fruity wine (white/red/rose) flavor. Tart, quick wild yeast finish.

A hazy orange beer with an orange head. The aroma is sweet and very spicy - though I can’t name any individual spices. The flavor is also very spicy and it reminds me a lot of a Belgian Ale, but it also has notes of berries and fruit, and of the spices I pick out cloves, and somewhere there’s just a touch of brettanomyces. The end has a light woody note combined with bourbon. This beer really confuses me - so much is going on at the same time.
