sauceyhops (34), carlsbad, California, USA May 25, 2008 Picked a bottle up from the Pizza Port bottle shop in Carlsbad. Pours a red/brown with little head. Nose of dark fruits. Amazing mouthfeel with flavor of raisins, dark fruit, and spices. The flavor sits on the tongue for minutes after tasting. I will definitely be picking up a couple more of these.
Dedollewaitor (2352), Odense, Denmark Jan 7, 2009 75cl bottle. Pours dark brown with a small creamy brown head. Nose is sweet and vinous. Caramel, dark fruits and sugar. Plum, sugar and chewing gum. Smooth and warm. Nice American quadrupel. jstraw (549), Oak Park, Illinois, USA Jan 6, 2009 Bomber at Jerry’s. Dark brown with faint, beige head / Big, sweet, malt and raisin nose / Medium to full body, sweet and malty, with low carbonation, no discernable hops, and good but hot finish / Flavors of raisins, figs, milk chocolate, and caramel / Seems like a mistake was made on this one - while there are some solid building blocks, no carbonation and no hops make this very flat and cloying. msante79 (382), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA Jan 4, 2009 750ml bottle. Pours murky reddish brown with light brown head. Aroma is of chocolate, malt, dark fruits, brow sugar and booze. Flavor is chocolate, malt, brown sugar, dark fruits, yeast and a little booze. Mouthfeel is a tan thin. Finishes sweet and a bit dry. My first Lost Abbey beer and my first quad. Will have try the St. Bernardus and Rochefort 10 to see how this one stacks up to the style. Pretty decent brew though. ilovedarkbeer (935), Dallas, Texas, USA Jan 3, 2009 Pours an opaque and very still looking black brown color with a small to medium sized tope head. Nose is teriyaki, licorice, booze, raisins, and caramel plus belgian candi sugar. Mouthfeel is decent and the taste is green raisins, more licorice, spice, yeasty, grain alcohol, and prunes. Not bad but lacking. madsberg (4424), Bangalore, India Jan 1, 2009 Bottled. Murky reddish brown coloured. Medium sized dense light brown head. Aroma of prunes, chocolate, raisins and alcohol. Flavour as well full of ripe fruits like raisins and prunes. Has a spicy and sweet touch and is very heavy on the alcohol. Medium to full bodied. Quite dry. Ends on a roasty quite sweet and fruity note. Very warming on the palate. The alcohol is almost too much for me in this beer, but still a very decent beer.
