Allagash Black is a Belgian style stout brewed with 2 Row barley, torrified wheat, oats, both roasted and chocolate malt and a generous portion of dark caramelized candi sugar. The silky mouth feel is a great balance to the roasted character, coffee and dark chocolate notes expressed throughout this beer.

96 Points & Rank #1 on Wine Enthusiast Magazine's Top 25 Beers of 2010:
"Allagash Black (Belgian Style Stout; Allagash Brewing, ME); 7.5% abv, $8/750 ml. Dark mahogany color in the glass with glimmers of garnet when held up to the light. Pours with a fluffy cream-colored head that lingers and leaves gorgeous sticky lacing behind when it finally falls. Cigar box, roasted malt, molasses, pine tar, clove, nutmeg and sweet spice flood the nose and palate. The mouth is medium weight, not too overpowering, with a strong wave of flavors following each swallow. Rich, roasty and immensely satisfying; also surprisingly easy to drink. Best Buy." (Dec 2010)
