Commercial Description:
Smooth malt Flavors of this Belgian-style abbey ale are complimented by traditional imported ingredients. A slightly spicy and complex flavor makes this European celebration-style beer unique and refreshing.

This is a very nice Belgian styled strong med-dark Brew. It’s Similar to a Konings Hoeven Abby or Trappist quad. Delicious and malty like a liquid krispy creme donut but with some hints of dark fruit. Also it’s a BiG Beer indeed at 10.5 % ABV.

This high alcohol strong Belgian golden style beer has a heavy body with a malty taste and finish. Fruity esters are evident in the taste and aroma. The high alcolhol (10.2%) is not evident so be careful how much you drink at one time.

This brew while a good one isn’t absolutely excellent. While I regret having to do this I can’t compromise my tastes either. Here’s the rating. It has a more sweet, then sour aroma. I didn’t know what to expect. This brew is a red, but mostly orange-yellow clear brew. Has carbonation that is good. A semi-sweet to bitter after taste. The in-mouth feel is low-thick and syrupy. However for 10.5% ABV is very very nice. Hmmm....I just can’t pin-point anything else other than it does coat the palate pretty thickly and alcohol is not noticable; it’s there but can’t taste it well; good.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a slightly hazy dark orange brown colored body. The aroma was hoppy floral malty and sweet. The mouth feel was very tingly at the start and at the finish vinous aftertaste. The yummy flavor contained notes of malt hops crisp caramel mildly vinous and mild citrus. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

Pours a dark clear brass color with slim white head. A floral aroma accompanies a full-bodied fruity malt taste. Not quiet a true belgian style, but the flavor is rich and smooth with a nice strong alcohol presence. Very tasty.
