Spinnakers Belgian Abbey

Light metallic nose. Nutty roast malt. (special b I am told) Pretty brown. Low head Lightish body. A bit roast. Caramel light background fruitiness. Mellow mouthfeel Caramel fruit aftertaste.

From tap Dec 2007. Pours mahogany brown-red with little head. Aroma of candy sugar although none was used in this beer, and dried fruit. Velvety soft mouthfeel, low carbonation. Rather thin in body. Raisin flavors, slight sourness at the end. An odd balance of flavors but mellow and smooth nevertheless. Sweet and simple.

Bright amber-brown. Fruity, brown sugary nose. Light body. Moves smoothly across the palate. Basically has the profile of a dubbel but with less size. Makes for a quaffable brew...probably good because it gets diacetylly when it warms.

(Draught) Poura s alight amber body with a medium-sized, rapidly dissipating white-head. Nose of weak but malty banana bread. The flavours of bubblegum, bread and sour cherries. Average overall. A fairly thin texture, lacking maltiness. Surprisingly low ABV?
