Commercial Description:
Editor's note: Brewed by Ølfabrikken at Het Anker, Mechelen, Belgium.

Ølfabrikken Abbey Ale is our interpretation of the dark and strong ales brewed in the Belgian monasteries. A more than hundred year old yeast strain provides the beer with notes of raisins and prunes supplemented by a discrete spicy aroma from coriander. The flavor is big and vinous and dominated by caramel. Enjoy it with braised meat, game and ripe cheese. Of course unpasteurized, unfiltered and refermented in the bottle.

Bottle at Copenhague Beer Festival 2007. Pours deep brown beer with a huge light brown head. Aroma is malty and hoppy, caramel, some yeast. Taste is fruity. Alcohol presence is well hidden but present. Taste is sweet but bittering in the end. Dry slight bitter aftertaste in the finish.

750 ml bottle. Brown body with a dense off-white head. Complex aroma of sweet malt, caramel, brown sugar, spices and alcohol. Flavor is sweet, light roasted malt, caramel, dry fruit, some alcohol and a hint of cellar notes. Full bodied and extremely well balanced. Actually the balance is so perfect that it’s difficult to sense the flavors after the first sips. Then just getting better and more flavorful for each sip.

Bottle. Caramel-brown beer with a big tan head. Caramel, yeasty aroma with fig and raisin. Fig, raisin, date flavor with yeast and rich malt. Medium-plus bodied. Rich yeasty, stone fruit, and malt lingers. Nice complexity - some darker malts present. Very good.

Thanks to bitbucket tasting. Notes are getting thin....dark brown with medium head. Lots of dark fruits and caramel mix together to make this quite enjoyable.

Nice brownish colour. A soft taste with some hints of caramel and spices. Also slight hoppiness. A 0.75L bottle tasted at Pikkulintu.

Bottle, 8.5%. Malty and sweet aroma. Cloudy dark red and brown aroma. Lost of floaties. Small tan head. Good malty flavour, lots of dried fruits. Gets a little yeasty as it warms. Very well-balanced. Good alcohol level to match the maltiness.
