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]

Dec 11, 2007 750 ml. bottle from Zinister, shared at the 12/7 tasting at Indra’s. Pour is caramel brown with a tan head that fades immediately. Aroma of dried fruit (primarily raisins) and Belgian yeastiness. Taste is a nice solid maltiness with raisins throughout. As it warms, the Belgian yeast flavor takes center stage. Nice full body, and extremely well balanced.

Jul 28, 2008 Sample @ the Brewery. Pours a deep amber color so typical of the dubbel style. Aroma is heavy dark fruit with slight spicy notes thrown in as well. Taste is dark fruit on the top with caramel and malt sweetness, ending in a slight grainy and nutty bite. Very nice.
