Oct 12, 2009 Pours rusty brown with burnt orange highlights and a large fluffy beige head that bubbles down to a ring fairly quickly. Aroma of brown sugar, cinnemon, pie crust, key lime pie, leaves, dirt, and tobacco (good stuff). Really nice nose. Tastes spicy at first with caramel, brown sugar, lime, pear, cinnemon, and pie crust. Finishes like spiced dessert with cinnemon, dried fruit, cloves, earth, and brown sugar. Spritzy carbonation lightens the mouthfeel which could be a little heavy otherwise. Fairly creamy and low heat presence (but I can tell it’s lurking). I’m enjoying this!

Sep 12, 2009 This corked and caged bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a very large sized head of foamy fine to medium sized tan colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind an extremely hazy semi-opaque body with lots of fine particulate and yeast floaties no visible carbonation and a thick foamy lacing. The aroma was mild brown malt and nut. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a thick vinous dark malt aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of hops and vinous brown malt. Delicious and one I would certainly buy again.

12/15/2007: Ølfabrikken Abbey Ale Special Reserve pours a deep amber color and has fine sediment suspended in it. It also has a foamy and lasting beige head. The aroma is the much like the typical Dubbel since is has that Belgian fruitiness and dark candi sugar. The flavor has a rich caramelized malt base with hints of bubblegum and chocoalte throughout. The alcohol is well-blended in with the other flavors. This medium-bodied beer is smooth and pretty solid overall.
750 ML bottle (8.5% ALC/VOL). Rating #219 for this beer.
