Feb 9, 2008 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!

Feb 7, 2008 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.

Feb 7, 2008 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.

Feb 6, 2008 Sampled from 750 courtesy of dpjuart. Sweet and smooth aroma, with raisin and plum and mild fig. Alcohol vapors, rich malty aroma. Aromatic with some carbonic gaseousness. Rich coppery red-brown clear, with absolutely no head. Medium-heavy watery body with medium-light carbonation. This one is still hot, but with a nice taste to it and oddly, a bit watery/thin. Nice malty flavor with raisin and caramel. Mild sweet malty finish with light chalky bitterness in the after. A tasty brew.

Jan 26, 2008 tap at the brewery - Pours lightly hazy reddish-brown with a thin head. It has a good malted fruit aroma with a similar flavor that also includes some mild hops. A medium bodied brew, the dark fruit notes in the background are probably the high point.

Jan 25, 2008 Pours a dark reddish brown color from the bottle. Thin off-white head that is actually somewhat frothy and resiliant. I’m drinking this brew warmer than I normally prefer, so it’s probably the perfect temp, but the nose is a bit subdued. I get a bit of dark, wet fruitiness, also some dark malts in there. Tastes fruity... Deep, dark, fruitiness. Raisin and plum stand out. Neither of which I really like, but this brew is tasty and different.

Jan 18, 2008 on tap-pours a retaining off white head that laces and amber color. Aroma is funky wheat/medium malt, spices-pepper. Taste is funky wheat/medium malt, spices-pepper, yeasty, musty, sweetness. Not my style.

Jan 16, 2008 This is another decent beer by Lost Abbey...a hazy brunette with orange undertones. This brew has a bubbly off-white head and minimal lacing. The aroma is extremely sweet...plum, grape juice, and caramel with a taste to match. This is very drinkable but not very complex.
