Allagash Musette

Rating: 2

Allagash Brewery
Portland, Me
Style: Scotch Ale
ABV: 10%
750 ml bottle
12/2006 batch

From Allagash's Barrel-Aged Beer series, in their words a beer that is inspired by the scotch ale style. I normally love Allagash beers but this is admittedly not my favorite. Fair representation of the scotch style, but not the exceptional beer you'd expect after just paying $16.

Deep amber color, somewhat flat nose, medium body & sweeter taste but lacking complexity I want from a 10% scotch ale.
