Southampton Abbot 12

Brewed by Southampton Publick House
Style: Abt/Quadrupel
Southampton, New York USA

This stuff was shared by ross which I was very thankful for. Pours a dark brown with a small head. Aroma is sugar and alcohol. Taste is a bit more profound with some caramel and plum hints comming out a nice crisp finish. Excellent experience.

I should have aged this baby! Oh well 1 more left for next year. This bomber was poured out in my trappist orval glass. Nice carbonation that’s hazy, dark, and murky brown. The taste starts of piny which gave off a spiced hopy taste, dry and maltiness appears to have a tingly sweet after taste.

Thanks to Sliffy for sharing this at the last Columbus tasting. Aroma of brown sugar and some wine like scents. Dark brown appearance with golden highlights when held to light. Medium to thick palate. The taste was very heavy malt with some heat behind it. Light hop presence in the finish.

Not crazy about this one. Found a bottle on Long Island in Shore Line. 2006 version. Pours a deep brown/burgundy with short lived, very loud popping head. The aroma isn’t bad with hints of buttery toffee malt, raisins, alcohol, yeast. It’s very carbonated, artificial soda like mouthfeel (unpleasant). Very sweet maltyness. Thick brown sugar, toffee, with a touch of yeast in the background. Predominantly syrupy sweetness, seems artificial. Maybe some rum soaked, sugary raisins when it warms. And I also poured this at cellar temperature (around 50-55 degrees F). Harsh burning on the throat. I didn’t pick up on any complexity which you would expect from a quadrupel. Dissappointing.

Botte CTV3 shared by sliffy, thanks! Brownish-orange pour with an off white head. Aroma of caramel malt, yeast, and lemon zest. The flavor corrilates fairly well with the aroma with the yeast, malt and some rasin coming through. Smooth over the palate with some decent carbonation and a sweet finish.

Bottle thanks to CaptainCougar: red brown pour with a white head. Aroma, yeasty, some molassas and other sugars, corriander, some fruits. Flavor, yeasty, molassas, raisins, some alcohol and spice. Quite good.

GABF 2006. Ruby brown. Small tanned head. Aroma consisting of caramel, dark fruits, cocoa, sweet malts, and candi sugar. Taste is more caramel and sweetich maltiness, dark fruit notes, light spice and floral notes, some yeast, dusty cocoa, bittersweet chocolate and soft alcohol. Body is medium-full. There’s a moderate carbonation feel that makes itself present after several samples. Ends with more dark fruits, caramel, hint of brown sugar, cocoa, and light alcohol.

Hazy brown, dirty looking. Aroma is huge caramel, candi sugar, one diminsional but good. Taste is earthy, spicy malts, brown sugar. Balanced ethanol. Finish is stronger ethanol. Nice breadiness, hints of esters. Medium body, light oiliness. Yum!
