Lost Abbey Lost and Found

pours a cloudy copper with full white head. sweet fig and cherries on aroma. spritzy full palate, complexity with figs, yeast, raisin, smooth finish. good aftertaste.

750ml bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours a murky, swamp water brown with a small, wispy beige head, not much lacing. Nose was dominated by Dark candied fruits, spice, fig and alcohol. Flavor was much the same with a little extra kick of booze and yeast in the finish.

bottle from saints membership ’07.....murky caramel brown pour with a frothy off-white head....aroma of figs, prunes, and other dark fruits. some biscuity sweet malt as well.... flavors of sweet caramel malt, spices, and dark fruit with a lively well-carbonated mouthfeel. i detected a little alcohol in the finish.

Shared w/ Exec board courtesy of Juart. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a reddish hue. Nose of raisins and some spice. A little bit of yeast and a lot of malt sweetness. Very malty flavor. Sweet raisins and fig with a nice bitter finish. A really good body that is kind of syrupy and very little carbonation.

C&C 750, no date. Pours into my trusty Chimay glass a clear, brilliant mahogany red with a thin beige head. Nose is spicy dark fruits - fig and raisin primarily, with allspice and light anise, touched with roasty malt. Flavor is quite different - spice really takes over, a weird funky note creeps in, like bad nuts. The fruitiness comes through a bit as it warms up, the anise and allspice coming on strong. Strange, and not one I’ll be on the lookout for. Re-rate. Clear amber brown, small beige head. All of the above, less the bad nut flavor, this is delightful! Guess that first one was off... numbers based on second try.

On first crack, it smells like you just opened a box of SunMaids... and it pours a completely opaque amber with some tan head that sticks around. On first taste, its like Fig Newtons with some raisins...but it finishes on a bitter, hoppy note.Good stuff!

Thank dpjuart for sharing. Malty, sweet aroma. Rich and and full of caramel, dark fruits, and a hint of oxidation (cardboard). Beautiful red hue with beige head. Very young flavor. Hot hot hot alcohol throughout. Dark fruits and rum come to mind. The mouthfeel is syrupy and cloying, but oddly thin in the finish. A good beer for sure, but needs some time in a cool, dark place to develop. I just noticed this is a Dubbel. What? Says who? Cause this sure as hell didn’t taste like no Dubbel to me. Dubbel’s are meant to be smooth and drinkable - and this was damn near the polar opposite of that.

750 m. bottle from trade with Ty, shared with Exec Board. Pours brown w/ amber hues. Fizzy, beige head that quickly dissipates. Nose is caramel and toffee, raisin, touch of plum with some alcohol present. Taste is much the same, caramel and toffee, touch of roast, some fruity undertones, raisin, and lot of alcohol. Very hot. Mouthfeel is thin but sticky.
