May 24, 2008 Bottle @ thewolf-and-his-flock-of-sheep tasting session. Hazy orange brown color, medium brownish head. Aroma is slight sugary, quite fruity, raisins. Very malty taste, sugary sweet. Again these kind of brews tend towards barley wines instead of abbey dubbels.

May 23, 2008 Thanks to the generous nature of the Lost Abbey clergy, I had a taste of this at the brewery. Rockin’ place! The pour was a dark amber transparent color, yet it is not filtered. Inhaling a waft reveals raisins and molasses. The beer itself is incredibly smooth to drink with hints of chocolate, pepper, and raisins.

May 23, 2008 My first Lost Abbey beer!!! Pours a murky orange brown color with thin off white head. Looks a lot like iced tea and lemonade. Aroma is wonderfully deep malt, dried apricots, over ripe grapes, faint alcohol, and a bit of peppery spice to round it all off. Flavors follow the aroma well. Roasty sweetness, mild burnt toast, toffee, caramel, golden raisins, pepper, licorice mild smoked wood... all these flavors blend seemlessly. Body is smooth with mild carbonation. This is really wonderful. I think this should be rated higher than the Chimay Red personally.

[thank you, Boutip]
Pours deep red with a nice, frothy, beige-brown head. Great lacing. Aroma has chocolate, raisins, plums and caramel. Fine creamy mouthfeel. Lovely balanced flavour, sweet chocolate, caramel, raisins, plums, apple and raspberries. Wonderful dubbel.

May 19, 2008 750mL bottle listed at 7% ABV. Pours with a rocky, off-white head covering a fizzy looking, hazy, dark amber-brown body. Aroma has raisins, figs, vanilla and some toasted malts. Taste is candied fruits, a rich body with light spiceyness, then yeastyness, finishing with a bit of smoke. A bit more carbonated than my liking, but so are many Dubbels in Belgium. The mouthfeel was water thin.
