Sep 6, 2008 Gorgeous deep, almost opaque, red mahogany color, tan light effervescent head with orange highlights, thin, tiny bubbles, good retention and lacing... aromas of sweet, candied fruits, vinous wine grapes, dark raisins, yeast esters and fresh bread. So smooth! Complex flavors of toffee, floral hops, light and dark fruits, chocolate covered raisins and a long finish that ends on a caramel note - truly a layered beer, as iit warms the ambiance changes and the beer reimagines itself, iImpressive example of the Belgian style being made by an American company and a very satisfying experience.

Sep 4, 2009 I had my first Ommegang Abbey Ale and was very happy I did so. An outstanding Belgian style ale, made in New York as the bottle said 3600 miles from Belgium.
A malty strongly flavored beer (as you would expect from any Belgian Dubbel), with rich dark cherry and plum flavors.
The balance of flavors is outstanding, and these flavors are further enhanced by a clean dry finish
This is a top 10 beer for me.

Dec 26, 2002 It’s hard to believe that this is made in America. At first, I thought it might be too sweet, but the flavor grew on me and I am now sad that the bottle is gone. It tastes every bit like a fine Belgian at a much more affordable price.

Aug 17, 2009 Beautiful reddish brown color. Clove and bread aroma and initial palate. Rich alcohol and spicy yeast finish. Carmelized sugar lingers. Damn good.

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!
