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.

May 23, 2009 Almost 3 years old.
Nice ruby amber pour with a creamy white head that never fully disappears and comes back on command with a little swirl. Very nice.
The aging has treated this beer well. Extremely mellow with a nice creaminess in the mouthfeel (once some of the high carbonation has worn off). Very pleasant integration of raisins, caramel, brown sugar and spices going on. Virtually no alcohol presence. Very, very drinkable.
Wish I had picked up a few more of these. Highly recommended - a very nice, aged dubbel.

May 20, 2009 Bottle many thanks to jrob21. Pours a deep reddish brown with frothy light tan head. Lots of dark fruit and brown sugar. Raisins, berries, caramel, plums, and a little bit of vanilla. Pretty tasty, but a little to carbonated for my taste.
