Pretty impressive for upstate NY! Let’s of cherry and choclate flavors. The bittering hops were more evident than in other dubbels, but it worked nicely.

Dec 23, 2009 This is definitely the best Abbey I’ve ever had. Aroma is fruity with a hint of hops, appearance is a very dark red/burgundy with a thin head. Malty taste with hints of apricot and chocolate. Rather decadent and enjoyable.

Dec 23, 2009 From the 1 pt. 9.4 fl. oz. bottle. The pour is a distinguished looking burgundy-brown with a hefty supply of foamy tan head. The aroma is vibrant with wheat, yeast, and caramel malts and subtle with the alcohol. The mouthfeel is of good texture and stability. The taste is pleasingly pungent with sweetness and licorice and a nice hoppy finale. Ommegang does it right.

Dec 19, 2009 Bottle form crown#6. Has the appearance of a sesame marinade with the bits and pieces flowing about, and yes, I was sure to not pour the last bit in, nor rock the bottle. Color is bland brown. Nose is sweet caramel, brown sugar and toffee. Flavor is sharp, crisp, dark fruit, caramel, nutty, toffee, slight bitter chocolate and black licorice with a dominant carbonation feel. Very complex, nice brew. A little dry and dirty tasting at times.

Dec 18, 2009 Aroma is faint plum and toffee notes. Appearance is a deep red, almost like a port. Taste is a sweet fruitiness I can not place. Toffee come through more as it warms. Palate is dry and carbonated like many of the Ommegangs. Great beer on the whole.

Dec 18, 2009 I love the reddish color of this beer, as specially as complimented by its yellowish beige head. I liked this beer but did not find its flavor to be as complex as many in the style, finding it instead leaning more towards the bitter side and with a good dry finish.
