Commercial Description:
Just released our newest seasonal – “Holy Sheet”. From the centuries-old tradition of Belgian Abbey monks comes our Uber Abbey Ale (9%). Aromatic and very full bodied, the beer will pour a deep burgundy in color and feature a rich, robust depth of malt character. Grab a line – Holy Sheet! – or you might be swept overboard.

Tallahassee, Fl. - Market Square Liquors - 12 oz bottle. Dark copper pour, long lasting, slightly off-white head. Sweet aroma, with hints of molasses, wee bit of alcohol, and overripe fruit. Flavor mimics the aroma with some candied sugar notes, mushy bananas, some boozy notes and some kids cereal. More bock-like than Belgian. Sticky mouthfeel, but slightly artificial feeling. Passable.

A lot of things about this beer just seem off. It pours mostly clear reddish copper and smells of raisins. The taste is pretty sweet and malty. Too malty, and it doesnt really have that spice of an abby.

12 oz. Mostly clear, dark copper beer with a small head. Faint aroma of molasses, bananas foster and slight oak. Tastes of rum, banana, whiskey, raisins, oak, cherry, and a hint of brown sugar and molasses. Medium body is tingly with alcohol, light on the carbonation and dry. Some nice flavors, but they’re nearly knocked out by a little too much alcohol flavor.

Bright reddish-brown. Plummy aroma with sour cherries, chocolate. Fruity and sweet, some bubblegum, light spice. Some orange. Some nice nuances but too sweet.

Bottle. Brown pour with thick tan head. Aroma of fruit and yeast. Taste of brown sugar, citrus and figs. Smooth, sweet finish.

Bottle. Pours cloudy amber/brown, with a medium beige head, and good retention. Aroma is dark fruits and yeast: plum, raisin, coriander, candy sugar. Flavor is similar. Nice yeast/malt balance. Not the best of style, but palatable, and tasty.
