Sep 18, 2009 Brown pour with orange hilites. Tangy, nostril-filling aroma with strong floral and brandy notes. This is pretty hoppy and tangy for a double and, as others say, it is complex. Sweetness and bitterness are both prominent and do clash a little. There are dashes of sourness, juniper, molasses, and raisins, and some alcohol warmth coats the throat. There is almost too much going on at once. OAA has a slightly rough-hewn, earthy character. It reminds me a little of something Dogfish Head might do, but Ommegang is a New York State brewery owned by Duvel. An impressive and flavorful brew.

Sep 14, 2009 Doesn’t taste like other Belgian Stong Ales that I’ve had. Aftertaste is awkward.

Sep 13, 2009 75 cl bottle.
Medium to dark brown with lots of red in it and a nice head that slowly turned into lace and remained throughout. Strong aroma of dark malts, chocolate, raisins, cherries, cookies, yeast. Very rich and complex. Flavor of dark malt, very rich and malty, with cherries, raisins, chocolate. Sweet but very well balanced and very complex. An excellent beer, as good as the best dubbels in Belgium.

Sep 12, 2009 750ml bottle. Raisin and something slightly sour in the aroma besides malty sugar. Flavor is round caramel and candy. Lingering finish is exquisite. So much flavor is contained in each mouthfull it’s hard to figure it all out, it makes each sip more interesting then the last. Hop character isn’t apparent, it’s just enough to balance all the amazing sugar and malt flavors. Yay beer!
