Nate (2533), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA 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. patrick767 (2016), fort wayne, Indiana, USA 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. doubleo (1096), San Diego, California, USA 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. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA 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. BOLTZ7555 (1053), Phoenix, Arizona, USA 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. biggcb (458), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours a somewhat cloudy brownish chestnut color w/ a think, bubbly light tan head. Aroma of belgian yeast, dark fruits, roasted malts and some orange rind notes. Flavor is slightly sweet, with nice dose of malts, dark fruits. Tasty. Slight bitterness on the back-end. Very, very drinkable. Indra (2018), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA Jan 13, 2008 750ml bottle. Darkly sweet, richly fruity aroma, vinous and full of toffee, cocoa and raisin, with notes of date, blackcurrant, yeast esters, faint hazelnut and earthiness. Deep mahogany color with a lasting, very fine, off-white head and thin sheets of lace. Flavor is comprised of a good blend of sweet, lightly toasty, nutty dark malts, dried fruit and mild but insistent spices in the background. Some lingering milky chocolate, orange peel, hop bitterness and very slight medicinal, alcoholic tinges. Smoothly creamy on the palate with a full body. Some stickiness late. Very agreeable interpretation. skaughty (621), Marietta, Georgia, USA Jan 10, 2008 From The Publick House- Boston.
Lucious pour with rich head. Aroma of roasted grains and butter. The flavor is mosty dark chocolate and pepper - with a dry and short finish. Most similar to Westmalle.
