May 30, 2006 Brown-red coloured, some carbonation with a large off-white head. Fruity, malty and caramel aroma, light sweet and nice balanced. Full creamy taste. Finish is sweet with a light bitter touch caramel and a little alcohol. When the yeast of the bottom of the bottle is poored out, more hazey brown colour and a deeper dough yeasty aroma, rather long aftertaste. NIce and good beer.

May 28, 2006 A good beer...but too much of a bread aroma to make it a GREAT beer. The taste was smooth and full and about what I expected but just too much of a sourdough smell for me.
This beer is not common on tap nor is it in broad distrubution.

May 23, 2006 Updated: Oct 13, 200611.2 oz bottle, best before 8/8/08. Pours a tea color with a large but kind of fizzy off white head that retains well.
The aroma is metallic bananas, bready malt, yeast and a little clove.
The flavor is pretty mild. It’s some bready malt and sweet nuttiness with some very subdued spices and a little lightly metallic light bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a little harsh carbonation.
Overall, a little on the bland side, but the more I drank of it, the more I started to enjoy it.

May 21, 2006 Malty but not too sweet. Dry palate. Little bready flavor too. Maybe a little apple in the nose? OK, but nothing too special. Kind of expensive too. I think a 4pk was $13.99.

May 15, 2006 Semi-hazed, rusty and ruby brown in color with widespread tan cotton foam that’s one-inch tall for the head. Aroma revels in glory. Dates, whole wheat bread, brown sugar, caramelized prunes, golden raisins, nutmeg, maple fudge, anise and chocolate-dusted banana chips. Devine. Certainly a flavorful array. Pepper and flower petals introduce a sweet visage with a silhouette of chocolate butter, cloves and brown bread. Spiced intoxicating enclave. Chocolate dipped licorice sticks, pumpernickel, golden raisins and a plum flavored, milky cheesecake character. Creamy, palatable and an absolute enjoyment wherever the tongue tosses it. Everything melds so well. Brown sugar and seven-grain muffins help with the encore, along with cloves, bananas dipped in peppered cocoa butter and sweet recognition that lasts long into the night.

Apr 28, 2006 A complex flavor full of caramel and bitterness. I felt it was somewhat lacking in what I expected of an Abbey Ale though.
