22oz. Bottle: Aroma of orange zest, hops, grass, nectar, and some yeast. Poured amber/orange in color with a small off-white head that lasted throughout. Cloudy. Sparkling. Full of tiny particles throughout. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of orange zest, yeast, lime, spices, and hops. Medium body. Dry texture. Average to lively carbonation. Very dry, sweet, orange and grass finish.

Hoppy but subdued. Nice tightly wound bubbly head. Smoother and perhaps blander finish than expected, resulting in an overall feel of a draft beer. It seemed like an actual draft beer. Not bad.

Bottle from Cooper’s Scranton PA. The tart apple-clove flavor abounds not leaving any room for many other characters to jump on stage including some sweet malts, citrus and Earthy tones (coming to a theater near you).

Draft at Earth. Clear brown with a rich beige head. Crazy chocolate and molasses aroma with dark fruits, caramel, honey, cloves, and spice. Cocoa espresso taste with dark grapes, cloves, molasses, brown sugar, and honey. A decent brew, but a far cry from an Abbey ale.

[Draft @ EB+B] Poured a murky, red brown color with a small, light tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of raisins, Belgian spices, roasted malts, burnt dough, and cocoa. Taste of more roasted malts, cocoa, raisins, yeast, and a dried fruity finish.
