Commercial Description:
Breukelen Abbey Ale a winter seasonal beer, is brewed in the style made famous by the monastery breweries of Belgium. Abbey is made with a blend of nine European malts, and fermented with an imported Belgian yeast. Abbey is a traditionally brewed Belgian "dubbel," a strong russet-brown ale with a spicy aroma reminiscent of chocolate, cloves, dates and figs. It contains one surprising ingredient, sugar. Many Belgian beers are brewed with a type of caramelized rock candy called candii sugar. For Breukelen Abbey Ale, we use raw Dominican sugar from the nearby Domino sugar refinery.

[At Københavnske Øldage 2005, served by Garret Oliver] A red-brown beer with a light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with some notes of yeast. The flavor is sweet malty and nicely spicy, leading to a dry spicy end. An OK beer, but not as good as most Belgian Dubbels.

Poured a copper color with a small, off white head that left very light lacing on the glass. Aroma of spicy cloves, light roast and citrus, yeast and some caramel as well. Taste of dark fruit sweetness, plums and some pear as well, yeast, with a peppery alcohol finish.

Closing out my 2005 St. Patrick’s Day at Mr. Goodbar. Nose is plum, sweet malt, yeast. Very sweet and fruity (very American?) with a healthy wallop of plums and oranges. Sweet lingering finish but a but too alcoholic
