Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Apr 17, 2006 On draft at the brewery, 4/12/06: Stonrg raisin aroma. Sweet sugary essence. Little too "over the top" for most, probably even me. Wow factor of banana brown sugar.
johnnysmoke (32), Texas, USA Jul 4, 2008 Beautiful amber in colour. Aroma is sweet, caramel, toffee. Flavour was sweet, yeasty, slight bitterness and alcohol. Finishes sweet, malty with a slight bitterness. ccoburn (22), Leawood, Kansas, USA Jun 23, 2008 Four year old bottle courtesy of Kansas New Belgium Rep, Scott Poure. Aroma is sweet dark fruits and toffee. Flavor is sweet and complex. Good banana and clove, perhaps pear. Alcohol is well hidden. Glad I finally got to try this, and if it was in production for retail, I would purchase this regularly. WesKBob (147), Bethany, Oklahoma, USA Mar 19, 2008 I made the mistake of trying this when I toured the New Belgium brewery a while back. I say mistake because now it really bugs me that I can’t get it anywhere else. A lovely amber color and a thick, lasting head. Sweet,fruity aroma. Wonderfully complex flavor with hints of sweet fruit and clove spice. A great mix. CubsClapp (13), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Jan 31, 2008 Fantastic beer, and a richer version of Abbey as the description tells you. 9.4% alcohol... Woooooo. If they sold this at the liquor stores I’d buy it all the time. It’s only available at the New Belgium Brewery, and make sure to give it a try if/when you go there. RSRIZZO (995), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Oct 11, 2007 Had this beer on 3/27/2001. Color is a deep amber with good carbonation and head. Aroma is a strong malt scent. Taste is sweet and rich. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a sharp rich feel. Finish is a rich sweet malt falvor with a shrap sweet end.
