Ommegang Abbey Ale

Outstanding take on a Trappist...er...Abbey style beer. Deep, dark fruit tones underpin the medium-bodied malt flavor. Finish is alcohol and yeast. Tremendously enjoyable.

A huge light brown head that disappeared quickly. Very sweet and thick with lot’s of yeast floating in the glass. Toffee and malt with a little bite. Smooth lingering finish.

Here is another great abby. I was surprised at how much I liked it. Nice sour yeasty and fruity scent hints at the flavor to come. Well balanced witha tinge of alcohol and a lont finish.

Nice beer that is a bit yeasty with subdued apple sour fruitiness. I didn’t find much of the sugars like everyone else did, but that could be because my bottle was a 12oz and not a 75cl? Still a nice beer that tastes like boozy apple and grape skins with lots of spices.

750ml bottle served in a trappist glass. Pours deep garnet-brown with a tan head. Smells sweet and spicy. Taste is candi sugar, &cinnamon. Finishes with a touch of brett funkiness. Very good.

Talk about a bang for the buck. I got this beer in a 750 mL bottle and only paid $5. Great abbey that has notes of chocolate, coffee and a finish of sweet honey. Absolutely delicious. I would recommend it to anyone.

(Bottle at Pikkulintu on 2008-06-04) Deep red wine colour. Small white head. Yeasty and bit sour nose. Lots of carbonation in full and dry palate. Chocolate, bitterness, fruitiness, liquorice and malts in taste.

Dark copper/maroon, cloudy and opaque with a generaous head that had excellent retention and nice lacing. Malts and dark fruits evident on the nose, as well as some brown sugar. Flavors of dark fruits - figs and cherries, some cloves and spices, and caramelized sugar, like "grandma’s candy dish". Very soft on the palate, lively carbonation, and a smooth, dry finish.
