Ommegang Abbey Ale

Pours a deep ruby color with a full lacey head. Spicey sweet aroma. Sweet spiced malty flavor. This is my one of my favorites in the beers I’ve sampled. But I haven’t had the Unibroue Trois Pistoles yet.

Bottle. Picked this up in Asheville, NC. Smell was fruity. Taste was that of a good traditional Belgian ale, but not great. Unibroue Trois Pistoles was much better. It’s worth a try though.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown reddish color with an off-white head. Spicy fruity malty and yeasty aroma with hints of dark fruit. Sweet yeasty spicy and slightly alcoholic flavor with dark fruit hints. Has a sweet malty spicy finish with some yeasty hints.

Poured an attractive dark burgundy color with a pillowy white head that hung around a while. Aroma is quite fruity and sweet with a touch of chocolate. Flavor is very much the same as the aroma with the taste of dark fruits and a nice dry finish. Nice beer that I would definitely explore again.

Bottle, 75cl (parts of the label carefully masked for some reason). Fruity, vinous aroma. Taste is dark fruits with notes of yeast.

It’s very beautiful, dark, red mahogany with a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma has sweetness, dark fruits, spice, yeast and alcohol. The flavour is just like the aroma complex and vinous; sweetness, malt, caramel, dark fruits, raisin and figs dominate, alcohol, spice and hints of licorice.

75 cl bottle. Dark amber color, offwhite head. Malty, bready aroma, fruity, pine apple and some trpoical fruit, caramel, mint notes, really fresh. Malty, fruity, caramel flavor, a bit vinous and citric, some lather, some hops. Malty sweetish finish with some alcohol notes.

Has a nice Belgian sour aroma. Nice dark copper appearance. Very malty flavor, backed up with some leather and sour notes. A good beer overall.
