Lost Abbey Amazing Grace

Brewed by Port Brewing/Lost Abbey
Style: Abbey Dubbel
San Marcos, California USA

750 ml bottle with a big thanks to drewbeerme for this pour. Mahogany amber color with a smooth beige head that is suspending brown yeast chunks. Yeast spice is strong in the nose. Brown sugar, red fruit, and wine. The beer seems relatively flat for the first 10 minutes. But as it warms up a funky earthy and oak complexity comes out. Belgian yeast spices, red fruit, cherries, wine, dried fruit, and oak. Tart yet vinous. As if finishes dry, I just want more of this beer. Really great beer, thanks andrew.

Bottle. A red brown beer with a beige head. The aroma and taste is a bit acidic, fruity and of barnyard and wood, light sweet. Medium body with a dry finish.

Big thanks to drewbeerme. Hazy dark brown/red with creamy pancake, beige head. Aroma is actually a lot of red wine with yeast and sweet malt, very nice. Wine forward with some medium dark malt theown in their, though really dry and not obnoxious alc. Medium body and medium carbonation. I wish there was more beer with my wine but this is still very nice, reminds a little of one of the BA Cantillons.

25.4 oz bottle. Murky brown with a coating tan head. Nose is sweet yeast, brown sugar, candied ginger and sassafras. Chewy, medium body with buzzy carb. Taste is bready raisin, red wine and oak. Dries with cherry skins.

Reddish and cloudy. Nose of wild game, slightly solvent and vinous. Tartness of berry and vinous, gamey and beefy with an excellent astringent finish.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of fordest. Slightly hazy amber golden with a creamy, cappuchinoish beige head. Tart, Brettish nose - very vinous. Medium body with vinous sweet’n’sour caramel and lots of dried fruit. Discreet bitterness. What a wonderful complexity. Knowing that this was labelled as an Abeey Dubbel I thought it was infected! But it’s not, it’s just wondefully barrel-aged, and it’s really more resembling a Flemish Sour. Someone please remove that Abbey Dubbel tag - it’s terribly misleading. 190408

Bottle courtesy of Bu11zeye: Poured a deep clear brown/reddish color ale with nice size foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of light tannic notes with some oak and tart notes. Taste is a mix between a light Belgian Dubbel (lighter then I remembered Lost and Found to be…) with some oak and tannic notes clearly discernable. Somewhat sour and tart but still well balance with the sweet malt form the original beer. Average body with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Well done.

Marks for Appearance are an average, as beer was sampled in weak artificial light after dark. Sourish lactic nose, sour cherries, Pedio an Brett notes. Cherries taste, both sour & maraschino, some wood apparent. Warming up, light ginger flavour. Lots of backthroat acidburn, very well-carbonated, even spritzy. Another Lost Abbey Special. Maybe a tad harder than most, but nice enough.
