Het Kapittel Watou Abt

Brewed by Van Eecke
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Poperinge-Watou, Belgium

A hazy orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity, and so is the flavor, leading to a very dry end.

(Bottle 33 cl) The "Abt" is normally the top-product in a range of abbey-beers - and this is no exception from that rule. Dark golden with a fairly huge head. Fruity, spicy freshnes in spite of the very potent, warming alcohol. Some good hoppiness in the finish. A rather atypical Abt - but still nice. 061097
