750mm bottle. Pours a dark burgundy with a thick pillowy head. Excellent lacing. Rich fruity tones with hints of cherry, rasberry and choclocate. Smooth lingering finish. Most excellent.

The 4-pack box this is packaged with recommends drinking it with a heavy meal — something like pot roast. I couldn’t agree more. This beer has an interesting mix of dark fruit flavors with just enough citrus on top to keep it refreshing. A touch of sweetness keeps you coming back for sip after sip.

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.

Bottle. Hazy medium brown ale with dense tan head. Definitely some fruit and clove aroma. Flavor is full with and slightly sweet. Chocolate notes, not very sour at all. Dry finish. Better than most Belgian dubbels I’ve tried.

Wow! what a great beer. Fruity earthy aroma that is complemented by the taste. Lots of flavors come through in layers starting with fruit and moving through to chocolate and a little bit of alcohol. Complemented the cappucino cheesecake my wife made perfectly.

Cask of dry-hopped version at the Blind Tiger. The aroma was fruit, clove, belgian malt, and pine. The flavor was similar with the belgian malt taking a back seat to the fruit, clove and pine hop finish. I wasn’t sure what to expect with this one because I disliked the Urthel hopped belgian, but this was really quite good. Great mouthfeel on cask, and the typical yeast found in belgians wasn’t really there (which was probably a good thing).

Beautiful deep reddish brown in color, with massive full light brown head. Pleasant fruit aroma. The fruit aroma carried over with a crisp fruit flavor, followed by some spiciness. Very well balanced. The alcohol content is apparent, but not overpowering. Very drinkable. I spent $4.50 on a 25 oz. bottle. Well worth it.

Light tan colored head. Fruity and spicy flavor. Sweet and hearty. Smooth clean finish. A favorite Abbey.
