My buddy brought over a bottle of Allagash Odyssey to share. The beer pours a brown color with amber hues and a frothy tan head. The aroma consists of raisin, malts, caramel, toffee, fig, and oak. The taste is sweet and malty with lots of raisin right up front. It is evident that this is a very malty beer that has some caramel, toffee, and fig as well. The finish brings out some dry oak flavors, balancing the sweetness. The alcohol content is 10.4% ABV. The Odyssey is a dry and malty beer that is smooth drinking with great malt accents that kill the beer beer from being too sweet.

Sly Fox Odyssey
On the cellar bottle list of Harris Grill in Pittsburgh, they had the Sly Fox Odyssey and I decided to order a bottle. The beer pours a caramel color with a bubbly off-white colored head. The aroma consists of pine, lemon, caramel, and pepper. The taste is both bitter and sweet, starting off with toasted caramel, lemon, and pine. The finish dries the mouth with pepper and the after taste leaves some apricot to pair with extreme bitterness. The alcohol content is 8.4% ABV. The nice addition of apricot on the finish to sweeten everything out made this beer, as it complimented the citrus bitterness very well.
