Jan 10, 2009 From a 25oz bottle. Orange pour, medium head. For all the trash I’ve talked about Lost Abbey this one is pretty darn good. At first blush is sweet and with the signature Lost Abbey heavy malt, briefly, but a refreshing and crisp hop presence finishes on the dry side. Some nuts and spices abound. Very fresh and bright. Enjoyed more than most Lost Abbey offerings, I may actually be rating this too low at 3.9.

Jan 8, 2009 2008-12-13. Hazy golden amber body with a modest beige head and lacing. (3+) Aroma is spicy and alcoholic, surprisingly boozy aroma! (6+) Flavour is kind of tangy, note quite sour with a bit of hoppy bitterness, touch of alcohol (6+) Average plus palate. Ok. <i>Bottle from Swoopjones</i>

Jan 7, 2009 Bottle with the Club. Pours a hazy light cobber with a diminishing off-white head. Smells of alcohol. Sweet and sugary with some bitterness. Slight spicyness and a hint of metals. Medium to low carbonation. Hints of alcohol in the finish.

Jan 6, 2009 Bottle. Dark brown beer with a semi strong head. The aroma is florally hopped with a slight sourness about it. The flavour is very dry, strongly vinous and deeply bitter, malty and roasted. Overall probably a little too strong for the style to be a brilliant beer, but good none the less.

Jan 5, 2009 Pale amber, slight fog. Faint band-aid and caramel aroma. Lots of character, though somewhat unbalanced. The funk and sticky sweet base work and don’t, like a flawed masterpiece or an aspiring everyday beer. Meh.

Jan 4, 2009 Bottle.
Hazy orange coloured with a small white head.
Sweet and fruity aroma of caramel with notes of spices.
Fruity flavour of caramel, spices, hops and pine needles with notes of yeast.
Hoppy finish.

Jan 4, 2009 Det her er en juleøl. Mørk uklarravfarvet med et hvidt skum. Dufter af karamel, tørrede frugter og noget sødt. Smager af chokolade og noget krydderi. Minder om en sødlig belgier uden gær. Tør humlet eftersmag.

Jan 4, 2009 Updated: Apr 13, 2009Appearance: Lightly hazy, orangey-amber body with a frothy, off-white head.
Smell: Toasted caramel malts with a mild fruit character, spicy-scented hops, and, yes, yes, there’s that underlying funky Brett component smelling of wild, voracious molds eating away the dry wall and alcohol-soaked cotton.
Taste: Sweet, toasty, creamy caramel maltiness followed by a light apricot fruitiness. Tiniest bit of lemony citrus. Spicy hops with a medium bitterness compounded by a bitter oil taste and ginger ’heat’. Funky, earthy Brett with it’s barnyard, molded paper flourishes. Grassy kick on the back end. Drying, lightly spicy finish with a bit of alcohol warmth and lingering herbaceousness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Very slight stickiness.
Drinkability: Though not my favorite of the Lost Abbey line-up, it’s still well-rounded and reasonably drinkable as it definitely hides its ABV rather well.
