Ølfabrikken Abbey Ale

Bottled. A deep red beer with a fast disapperaing brown head with sediment floating around. The aroma is sweet mlaty with strong notes of caramel, medium notes of yeast, and lesser notes of alcohol. The flavor is sweet mlaty with strong notes of alcohol, combined with notes of caramel, spices, brown sugar, and yeast.

Bottled at Københavnske Øldage. Muddy amber, airy head. Almondy caramel aroma. Sweet and softly malty with evident Belgian style yeast character. Near full bodied. Vinous and viscous with cherries, biscuits and some banana. Low bitterness. Complex, powerful and really good!

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of Grovlam. Pours a hazy, orangey brown with a dense, off-white head leaving some lacework. Complex, fruity and vinous nose. Quite full in body full of sweetish, roasted malt and again this delicate vinous fruitiness - some marzipan also. Excellent. 090507

75 cl bottle. Pours deep brown with a huge light brown head. Aroma is hoppy, sweet caramel, malty and yeasty. Yeast provides clear notes of raisins and a characteristic belgian aroma. Strangely this reminds me of both an Orval and Westmalle tripel at the same time. Full bodied almost winous. Alcohol presence is clear but softly blended with the malt. Flavour is caramel sweet with a good bitterness in the end. A clear strength in the taste is coming from the alcohol. Sweet to light dry in the finish. I wonder what this will taste like in a year from now.

Bottle. Hazy orange brown coloured with a huge beige head. Aroma is dominated by yeast and spices with notes of dried fruits. Sweet flavour dominated by dried fruits (especially dried figs), marzipan and alcohol with notes of yeast and spices. Spicy and yeasty finish.
