Oct 3, 2006 Bottle... GABF RB Tasting ’06... Murky orange ale with a small, frothy, off-white head. Both the nose and flavor are sweet with fruity esters and spicy phenols. Medium to full-bodied and creamy with lively carbonation. Finishes fruity-sweet and tangy. Thanks to Lumpy for supplying the bottle!

Sep 14, 2006 Shit, I wrote my review of Divine Reserve #2 and it didn’t take. Here goes again. Beer Pours cloudy orange color with a minimalist beige head that quickly, totally dissipates. Aromas include notes of earth, light fruit like apples and pears as well as a nice yeast note and some significant spiciness. Flavor are very well integrated and with enjoyable light fruit flavors, earth, tasty yeast and rich spiciness. This beer will be down played by some because it is brewed in Texas by Saint Arnold. That is too bad, becuase while it is not a world class Abt/Quad, it is nonetheless a damn fine beer. Prost!!

Sep 10, 2006 Bottle via trade with Fly. This Abbey quad pours a slightly hazy deep amber color from a 12oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and spicy, with a touch of yeast. A medium to full bodied quad. Malts are fruity and sweet, candi and brown sugar. Bunch of the typical spices as well. There is also a fairly substantial alcohol bite. Slightly spicy hops. Interesting mix of sweet, sour and spicy flavors. There are a lots f them and they are all fairly well balanced. Fairly smooth tasting for all that alcohol. Well age well I think. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean an smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Sep 9, 2006 it’s been a nice day. hung out at falling rock for a bit. have some lasagna in the oven. getting ready to watch a good game on the idiot box, so i crack open this bottle lumpy sent to me. pours a light maroon without a lot of head visible. aroma is dull yeast, biscuit, plum, a bit of ethanol. enjoyable fruity frlavor with plums, dates, apricot, raisins, a yeasty plowed field tang that is always good in "belgian" beers like this. rasisin lasts longer than the other flavors here and rings in a spicey not cinnamon, but maybe clove sensation. some cocoa in this later on, with a nice chocolate orange flavor. a pleasure to drink. thanks for the bottle lumpy.

Sep 2, 2006 A slightly hazy amber pour. A spicy aroma with a very spicy flavor with just a hint of alcohol. A decent palate. A beer that I really enjoyed again a beer that I would like better access to so that I could drink one by myself on my 55 birthday.

Sep 2, 2006 A peach and caramel aroma. An amber appearance. The flavor is semi cloying with some molasses, caramel, raisins, and other dark fruit. A complex and sweet beer. Arnold seems like a generic name for a saint though?
