Notes:
Allagash Odyssey is a dark wheat beer aged for ten months, a portion in oak barrels and the remainder in stainless tanks. The recipe includes 2-row barley, malted wheat, a generous amount of roasted barley and Belgian candi sugar. This deep brown beer boasts an aroma of black treacle and raisin. The flavor hints at dates, with a mildly roasted finish imparted by aging in both medium and heavy toast American Oak barrels. The finish is dry, punctuated by vanilla.

750mL, January 2010 bottling.
Pours a dark, dark brown with ruby highlights. The head was generous at first; the lacing and retention, decent.
The aroma is mainly yeasty, with phenolic notes, some dark fruit and oak.
The flavor is quite complex and big, yet smooth and refined. Lots of toasty, nearly roasty malt flavor and a sweet brown sugar component. Not terribly fruity, some date maybe. Oaky flavor is prominent, but not overpowering. The Allagash yeast character is really nice with this beer, and the finish is long and dry. Only weak point is the mouthfeel, which seems really light for a beer of this gravity, though the carbonation is great and creams things up nicely.
Really nice Belgian Strong Dark here. One and a half years of cellaring is just about right.
