750ml Bottle: Aroma of yeast, raisins, prunes, malts, slight caramel, and a hint of alcohol. Poured brown/amber in color with a large, tan head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Very sparkling. Full of medium and large-sized particles throughout. Flavor is medium sweet. Tastes of dark ripe fruits, light tobacco, malts, yeast, light caramel, light vanilla, slight cream, biscuit, slight wood, and some sugar/candi sugar. Medium to full body. Big, viscous, but smooth texture has a hint of chalkiness. Soft to average carbonation. Sweet, tobacco, wood, malt, and dark ripe fruit finish is ever so slightly dry.

great fruit cup aroma cherry flavor. sugar and alcoholic dovetail well. beautifully crafted. wet/heavy slightly spicy and grape sweet finish.

Usually I am more for balance, and this has some heavy spiced carbonation. But I loved this beer. Maple brown in color, hazy. Flavor of candied sweet malt, light fruits, spicy carbonation. Best dubbel i have come across.

dark amber color with a head that thins fast, Sweet raisins with candy sugar, with some alcohol burn. Heavy carbonation spritz but deeply flavored.

Pours with a cloudy amber body topped by a medium thick head with lots of lacing left on the glass. It’s sweet and malty with a nice spice note as well as dark fruit and light candy sugar notes. Medium to full bodied and smooth yet slightly tingly on the tongue.

Got to try this special retired brew at LIquid Sunshine I. My 14th Abbey Dubbel rate, the 207th rate of this brew, and first rate since March 29th. In your face! There is beer spilled all over my notes, it must be this one. Pours dark amber with a thinnish head, and some lacing. Sweet aromas of dark fruits and light yeasty notes. Distinctly fruity and sweet. The flavor is much of the same, I noticed a lot of dark pitted fruit. Fizzy carbonation. Even when I try to rate like an idiot I become too descriptive and wordy. Must work on dumbing down my already limited 100 word beer description arsenal.

750. Beer is clear, dark rosewood brown with a moderate amount of protein kayakers paddling through it. Head is initially large, off-white, frothy. DIminishes greatly into a skim of off-white bubbles around the edge of the snifter. The aroma is nice. Malty with heavy notes of rich caramel, cookie, brown sugar, lighter base note of toasted grain; slightly herbacious, lemony hoppy foil; Yeasty with a light/moderate notes of raisin bread,and vinous current; Light note of wood, trace of spicy alcohol. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly dry/sour/lean. Finishes with an average-length, lightly bitter flip. The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is average. Happy little thing.

Pours a lightish brown with a lasting off white head. Smells of dark fruit, spice, sweet, a hint of tartness. Tastes of fruit, molasses, caramel, some sugary hints, rosey. Full, rocky mouthfeel with nice carbonation. It sucks that this is one of the beers retired after the takeover.
