Mar 23, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark amber body with an off white head. Big malty fruity flavors, hints of dark fruit plum and raisin, and Belgian cane sugars. Caramel with hints of licorice. Moderate alcohol warming, good brew.

Mar 14, 2009 750ml caged&corked bottle. Pours a dark amber, cloudy, with a very thick light tan head (gushing bottle). The aroma is tangy, malty sweet with a good bit peppery phenols, too. The flavor starts lightly sweet and musty. There is some light dark malt character - not quite chocolatey - with some doughy, toffee notes and some soft fruit. The finish is dry and somewhat sweet. Mouthfeel is surprisingly light in body, but feels full and creamy after some swishing. The carbonation level is high, but not overly so. Overall, a decent abbey dubbel but not nearly as special as I was hoping. I’ve read nothing but amazing things about Lost Abbey, so I was hoping for an amazing start. Perhaps one of their other beers will dazzle me (10 Commandments and Red Barn are in the cellar...)

Mar 1, 2009 The beer poured a deep amber colored body with a medium thickness tan head. The nose has a malty sweet character with some fruits notes to boot. The taste is more of the same with a nice malt profile and some dried fruit characters as well.
