Aug 11, 2000 do not leave the U.S. for a abbey-style, it is made right here in the good old U.S.A. to put it in one word ’ahhh the best’

Oct 24, 2004 Deep, murky mahogany. Nose deeply sweet, plums, sugars, port, and grapes. Flavor is nicely sweet, some molasses and plums, lots of candy sugar. Hints of nuts and mild roasty bitterness, pleasingly fluity and rich, lovely kiss of chocolate at the end. Full and chewy, nice mouthfeel. Definitely a beer that has to be sipped at the proper temperature, sampled too cold it has a bit of an astringent bitterness, but at the proper temp it’s just lovely.

Oct 13, 2001 Short lasting head, caramel, Fruity banana/cherry/apple nose, toffee/apple aftertaste...Excellent example of a Belgian, you almost forget it was made in the US!

Nov 13, 2002 RE-RATE: No change to ratings, still a damn good beer. I love the complexity of fruit! A bit more of a nectarine-peach flavor this time, perhaps. Outstanding for an American-Belgian beer, the best I’ve had from this country...why don’t some of the hard-hitting micros (Stone, Rogue, etc.) do Belgians? HTOD Rose is nice but not as good as Ommegang.
ORIGINAL RATING: Very nice looking in my Chimay glass, and I liked the bottle - the label on the back was laid out like a sports page stat table in USA Today. Deep amber color, nice looking head. Very floral bouquet with some citrus, and the I thought that the flavor was right up there with the world’s finest in terms of complexity - I could just about feel it shifting flavors from instant to instant. I got honey, bananas, oranges, caramel, chocolate, perhaps even a bit of pineapple. A classic!

Dec 29, 2001 Enjoyed the liquorice taste. The Belgian candy sugar taste adds to the flavor. I have since copied a receipe like this and made one that tastes similar. Hard to find this beer.
