Carlsberg Semper Ardens Abbey Ale

Bottle, 66cl. Pours a brown beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is fruit and yeast. The flavor is roasted malt and caramel with notes of berries. The palate is vinious. Overall a good beer.

Bottled. Reddish brown colour with mediumsized foamy white head. Some slight lace. Aroma is fruity, wooden, a bit of raisins as well as some caramel malts. Flavour is caramel malts, some slight not-too-sweet-syrupy notes, mild nuttyness, wooden notes as well as some slight spicyness as well.

75cl bottle. It poured a dark reddish colour with a medium big white foamy head that settled down fast in the glass leaving a thin layer on top. The aroma is sweet and fruity with notes of plums, malts, brown sugar and caramel. Very nice. The flavour is a tad sweet, but not as sweet as the aroma. Notes of nuts, caramel and plums. It has a short aftertaste. A very nice beer overall and can compare with belgian dubbels.

66 cl bottle. Hazy brown body with small off-white head. Flavour is malt, caramel and nuts.

Dark brown with a disappearing white head. Aroma: Fruit, yeast, caramel, rye bread and some alc. Taste: dry but still quite sweet, dark sugar, caramel, roasted malt. Ok beer.

Brown with a decent head. Sweet and yeasty aroma with further notes of fruits. The flavour has notes of toffee, caramel, sugar and yeast.

Medium offwhite head. Brown body with vigourous carbonation. Banana and licorice aroma with brown sugar notes. Dry and faintly sweet roasty sugary taste with cinnamon notes. Thinnish body. Dry cinnamon and spice aftertaste with earthy papery notes. Quite nice, but lacking in body and malt character. (0.66l bottle, grocery store, Copenhagen.)

One of my go-to beers. I always buy this when it is on sale. Quite belgian. A dry nutty flavour dominates.
