The aroma is faintly caramelly/toasty malt with flowery hops, nuts, leaves, pine, earth, and hint of fruit. The taste is a full caramelly, malty body with flowery, earthy, hops, faint fruitiness, hint of nuts and pine, a perfectly balanced bitterness with sweetness, followed by a long, smooth finish that slides over the toungue, leaving a nice toasted grain aftertaste. It’s smooth, drinkable, but very tasty: very satisfying and what I would expect and want from a good bitter. It has a perfect sweet-bitter balance with both traits persistent simultaneously.

Haven’t drank enough beer from both draught and can to compare the tastes, but if it only gets better with the draught I’ll be back to post a five star when I have some on tap. It has a real nice flavor. Slightly smoky and sweet. Great appearance. Trappist (279), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA

It is tasy stuff with a nice gold color. Light and smooth with a slight bitterness that I like. MMM...Beer (385), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Oct 5, 2003 You know, some of these "widget beers" can be really hit or miss, but Abbot Ale is right on. Nice yellow/organge color and thick white head give it a great appearnce, and the taste is excellent. A smooth creamy brew that goes really well with a juicy steak. I'll definitely share this one with my friends.
