Lost Abbey Lost and Found

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

Bottle from trade with kramer17801. Pours a hazy, orangish amber color with a fair size off white head. Aroma is pleasently sweet with all of the malts. Taste of caramel, spices and fermented fruit. No hint of alcohol that I could detect. Has a light yeasty finish. Very nice, easy to drink brew overall.

Bottle shared, courtesy, slob. Poured a cloudy brown with reddish hues, beautiful tan head, great retention. Aroma was candied sugar, spices, light floral notes. The flavor was raisins, coriander, spice, yeast, breadiness, light cherry-plumby thing going on. Mouthfeel was creamy, spicey, zingy. A pretty nice dubbel. Thanks, Bert!

Pours a muddy red/brown with some yellow highlights and moderate head. Most things about this beer are better when you’ve got all that sediment poured in the glass, including the aroma. Raisins are pretty noticable here, but there’s some light banana, some cloves and other spices, some caramel and candy sugar. Strong and totally inviting. Taste is sweet and earthy, some slight raisins at first, but quickly overtaken by some caramel brown sugar, tobacco, dirt/leaves, and persistant burnt toast dryness. The dryness on the tongue is a little off in the first glass, but with the cloudy glass is nice and well integrated in the profile. Finishes with more toast, light coffee, leaves and butterscotch. There still some effevescent yeast and fruit to brighten the flavor a bit, but you detext in the back of your nose and don’t really taste it. That’s fine by me. This is an earthier abbey and very mellow and well-rounded. If it didn’t wow me from the start, by the end of the second glass, I realized how many things I like about this beer. Good stuff!

Pours a medium dark chestnut brown with medium brown head. Very nice fuity maly aroma. Very tasty beer with lots of fruit ranging from raison to cherry to peach. Lots of candy sugar. Good stuff.

Large brown head, good retention and a nice lace. Brown color with a light red glow. Nose of caramel, raisins, light buttery notes with some faint citrus as well. Body is medium with a creamy texture and a soft carbonation, nice. Medium sweet malt flavors, caramel, raisiny, fruity, earthy woodsy notes. Finish is dry and fruity. A decent Dubbel. Thanks to FlacoAlto for this one.
