Lost Abbey Lost and Found

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

Thanks Southaby. Pours a reddish copper with a thick tannish head. The nose is rusty, malty, sweet, fruity, raisiny, caramel, yeasty. The flavor is sweet malt, caramel, rusty dubbel feel, earthy, yeasty, some peat character. Palate is a tad thin and shows some sweetness.

Hazy brown with large beige head. Spicy aroma with notes of roasted malt and caramel. Sweet flavour with rosted malt burned caramel and chocolate.

Had this on tap last night at the tap room in pacific beach and it was almost a religious experience, and had to run out and get a bottle for christmas eve dinner at my sisters house, BOTTLE I have to admit as Im drinking it out of the bottle now it is not the same as it was on tap last night but ive got the bottle in front of me so this is what Im rating... foggy brown color with no head, date/raisin aroma, dark fruit flavor, alcohol present and feels pleasantly warming, not at all harsh or hot, mildly spicey, bright zesty fruity finish... he bottle im drinking has sort of an off tart/sour flavor that is way off, maybe an old bottle that wasnt kept very well (from BevMo), the beer I had on tap last night didnt have the off sour finish at all, it was nearly a perfect ale... the difference is startling... ON DRAFT Heres the rating that I wrote down last night... Dark red body, thin white head, plumbs, dates, trappist yeast banana nose, bubble gum flavor, wow, light lemon flavor, roses, light fruit on a dark body, complex and very interesting, sooooo good, wow, blown away by this beer The rating is sort of merge between the two experiences.

Minimal off-white head of fine bubbles. Sparse carbonation. Looks a little lifeless in the glass. Dark malts, molasses, spices and dark fruits. Color is a ruddy dark mahagony brown. Sweet and malty flavor, with some raisins, more molasses and caramel. Typical dubbel flavor but a little bit flat. Very flavorful though. Finishes sweet and malty. A decent brew but nothing really that fantastic. Smooth and flavorful.

Dark Reddish color. Smell of dark fruit, spice, nuts, malt, hops, alcohol and caramel. Taste of raisins, plums, spice, nuts, malt, hops, alcohol and brown sugar.

Pours a murky rusted mud colour with a small tan head that fades quick and produces no lacing. The nose emanates feet from the glass, ripe with fig, port, and candy sugar. The flavour more dry than the nose suggests, though it is still very sweet. This is a near perfect representation of an abbey dubbel. The raisins are evident in the flavour, though not overwhelmingly so. The finish is dry and a bit watery. The body is a little watery as well.

Pours a deep plum color with a tan head. Smells of dark fruit and pie spices. Tastes of cola, dry cocoa, and faint lemon. The combination is awkward.

1400th rating. Pours a fiery red-brown with some odd looking purple hues. Fizzy tan head the mostly dissipates. There is a big fruity nose with some raisin, fig and currant. There is a bit of alcohol and some yeasty spice as well. There are some big fruity fig and berry flavors and a lingering twang. It lingers quite a bit actually. Medium body with pleasing carbonation. I suppose this is a fine beer, but I am not feeling it as much as I had hoped.
