Jun 8, 2007 Pours a ruddy brown color with a thin off-white head at the edges of the glass. Looks well-carbonated. Belgian yeast aroma with a pit fruit character. The carbonation plays well on the palate. Taste is moderately sweet, with some caramel and spice notes present. A good dubbel.

Feb 28, 2007 Pour is dark red and with good head. Well carbonated. Muted fruity aroma. Smooth well developed flavor and the body is just about right if a bit over-carbonated. Quality dubbel.

Apr 30, 2009 I sleep with a Lost Abbey bottle under my pillow.. these things are deadly. Bottle from early 09. Pours a clear but very dark and rich reddish orange with a medium sudsy beige froth. Sweet tart aroma, surely the fruit sugars from the raisins, some rich caramelized candi sugar, fruity, very nice. Really rich sweet first taste, crystalized sugars, raisins, a bit floral, super rich. Lots of super sweet raisins emerge when one moves it around the tongue. I’ve started to doubt aging beers, however, this is one I wish I trusted as these sweet sugars would age amazingly and hopefully develop some depth... I think. Medium bodied with a medium mouthful, fluffy carbonation, thin for a dubbel, lightly sticky, juice-like. I will age the next one... damn it. [the flavor really develops as it warms... aroma becomes richer with more depth, goes great with some Brie and bread]

Oct 5, 2007 750 ml bottle shared at Glouglouburps rooftop tasting. Poured a muddy brown with a tight bubbly quickly disipating light tan head. Sweet aroma of flowers, chocolate, dark fruit, yeast and a spot of alcohol. Medium palate but was a touch overcarbonated. Flavor was rather sweet with lots chocolate , flowers and yeast. Reminded me of a chocolate flavored Belgian dubbel.

Jun 3, 2007 Rich date-like flavor. The palate is very thin for the style and is not great. Also, there is something just a tiny bit off on the finish, like an in-harmonious bitterness.
