Allagash

Allagash Musette 750ml

An exquisite Scottish inspired Belgian brew that is malt driven and has been aged in oak bourbon barrels. VERY VERY limited. Big and velvety it has suggestions of dark fruit, banana, with big caramel and just a hint of smoke.




Allagash Curieux 750ml
This bourbon barrel aged triple is quite a beer. The color is golden with a bit of haze. The head (and beer) is more effervescent than anything else. The aromas are of bourbon, wood, vanilla, and tropical fruit. The aromas carry over into the flavors with ripe fruit, vanilla, and a spicy alcohol hit and a light hop bitter finish.



Allagash Interlude 2006 750ml

This Saison style beer was aged in French Red Wine barrels and it shows. Orange in color with a tint of brown. The head pours large and the smell is that slightly funky farmhouse beer aroma you should expect. The flavor is lightly oaky tart with a ting of wine and a light earthiness. At 9% it is a little strong for a Saison but so much the better. I hope we see more of this, it is rather unique and tasty.



Allagash 11th Anniversary 750ml
This one pours a deep amber / red color with a tall head. The aromas are spicy, woody, with a touch of earthiness and citrus. The flavors are deep malt, raisins/prune, with a subtle peppery



Allagash Four 750ml

This quadruple is big and tasty. It pour a mahogany color and has a big sticky head. Spicy in the nose with hints of clove, pepper, and bread. The flavor is toasty with plum and apricot fruitiness. It finishes dry with a hit of coriander. Nice and warming at 10% this Belgian style ale will not disappoint. Check out their other Belgian offerings.
