May 6, 2006 Draught at brewer. Poured a deep amber with an off-white head. Nice lacing. Dominant nose of tobacco. Truly smells like the walk-in humidor at your local cigar shop. Maybe some notes of leather there too. Flavor of tobacco and toasted pumpkin seeds. Wish I had taken more notes on this one as it is quite an intriguing ale. Bought two cases, so perhaps I’ll adjust these comments after I crack a few more.

May 4, 2006 12 oz bottle, via BA swid. Pours a clear chestnut brown with a two finger off-white head that settled to a thin film. Nice fruity ester filled aroma with banana bread, light toffee, some nuttiness, and a very light yeastiness. Flavor is fruity with lots of bananas and various dark fruits. Moderate alcohol and toffee on the finish. Medium bodied with spritzy efforvescent carbonation. Finish is slightly sticky. Not bad overall, but it could use a little thicker body and a little more yeast character.

May 3, 2006 Ruby brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of candied sugar, grapes and some bready malts. Tastes quite sweet and malty with some nutty overtones. Noticeable yeast throughout.

Apr 27, 2006 12oz. bottle best before 4/7/06. Clear mahogany color with a small beige head. Yeasty aroma with cloves, dried fruits and sweet malt. Flavor was pretty much the same as the aroma except for the the lack of sweetness. The beer was actually quite dry and refreshing.

Apr 24, 2006 Rich aroma of bananas, raisens and vanilla. Roasty cloves, spice and some apple flavors. Earthy.. my only complaint is that the body seems a little thin.

Apr 18, 2006 Updated: Aug 26, 2007I have been rather fond of the brews I have encountered from this brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium ruby-brown color with a large tan head. The aroma is sweet and yeasty with ripe fruits and molasses. The flavor is roasty with strong ripe fruits and a bit of chocolate. There is a mild yeasty note and some light sour tanginess in the finish. A nice dubbel.

Apr 14, 2006 (03.26.06) 12 oz brown bottle purchased from Liquidsolutions.biz. 7.0% ABV. Label states best before July 7, 2006. Poured clear dark amber with medium long-lasting off-white head. Good lacing. Soft carbonation. Spicy clove and toffee in the nose. Medium-to-full bodied ale that starts with fruity/smokey spicy clove/toffee flavors. Finishes with light malt fade. Smooth and rich tasting, this is an excellent Belgium abbey ale.
