Commercial Description:
Abbey Roade is brewed in the tradition of the famous Belgian Abbey-style ales. This wonderful brew is soft and sweet up front. The complex and spicy middle palate is in most part due to the generous addition of dark Belgian candy sugar. This semi-dry ale has notes of ripe plum and pear with a peppery finish.

Huge white frothy and foamy head. Honey coloured. Biscuity and orangey nose, phenolic alcohol notes aren’t surprising. Minty and orangey in mouth, almost earthy. Has a rich fruitiness ranging from apricots to raisins and dates. Bready, biscuity, appealing flavors, rather complex. Salty even, like salted crackers. Smooth bodied, light-medium carbonation, sweetish, but efficient.

Draft... Harrisburg Brewfest 2... Hazy, orange ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Great retention. Spicy, grainy aroma with a light note of chocolate. The flavor is all over the place... tangy, malty, spicy, cloyingly sweet. Medium-bodied and silky with lively carbonation. Lengthy, bitter-sweet finish. Totally unsatisfying. More like a saison than a dubbel.

Hazy dark honey amber color. Sweet red apple and creamed bananas in the nose, along with honey and pear yeast esters – I would say they nailed the fruit and bread scents with the yeast, and thankfully this is unfiltered. Smooth texture, turning lightly dry on the palate, it finished smooth and creamy with apples, pears and sweet bread flavors. A good Belgian-style dubbel.

Had this at the Malvern event. This is a nice abbey dubbel. Good nose of fruit, citrus, and slight yeast. Finishes sweet, malty, and crisp.

This draft brew from the brewery poured a large sized head of foamy fine to medium sized mostly lasting off-white colored bubbles and left behind a good thick lacing. Its aroma was malty and doughy . Its mouth feel is mild and semi flat with a soft mildly thick palate. Its flavor contained malty hoppy doughy notes.

Nice dubbel. Lots of fruitiness with maybe a slight hint of diacetyl in both the aroma and the flavor. Fairly smooth and easy to drink. Absolutely no head - but carbonation was adequate.

Tap at CAH. Pours a hazy golden with muddy orange notes and a medim bubbly off white head. Aroma of flowers, candi sugar, light Belgian esters. Flavor of the same with some earthy notes in flavor that I didn’t get in aroma.

Draft at Appalacian BC. Medium ivory fizzy head that was mostly lasting, fine-medium sized bubbles, lacing was very sparse, no visible carbonation, transparent, and an orange hue. Malty, hoppy aroma as was the flavor. Tingly mouthfeel. Medium body.
