1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Bottle. Pours a deep amber with a nice white head. Aroma, what little there is, is a light raisin and plumb roll. Flavor is a watery winter spice with a finish of lightly spiced soda bread. Watery mouthfeel. Could be Michelob Ultra Belgian Ale. If this beer had any nose and flavor, it MIGHT be good. As it is, seltzer with alcohol.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Aroma is malty and yeast. Pours amber with a small white head. Taste is malts and maybe caramel. Pretty good.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle - average size thick head, medium amber color, Belgian yeast spice aroma and flavor, with sweet malt and raisin flavors
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Pours a dark red. Thin off white head. Aroma is sweet, sugary and belgian yeasty. It has a very weak, thin belgian yeast flavor. Watery. A bit hoppy in the finish. Some bubblegum. A little sweet. Highly inoffensive. Not a big flavor profile. Very thin mouthfeel. I think this is barely an abbey ale. Not sure what they are doing with this one. Poor effort. Although, it looks great in the glass.

bottle... dark brown with a bit of amber, watery light tan head... the aroma is off, bacon, a bit of oak, yeast and caramel, not doing it for me... taste is equally bad, a mix of yeast, grass and chalk, big time pass
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
22oz bomber from Pick’s poured into a Trappist glass. Pours a somewhat hazy dark nut brown with about a finger of off-white head. Very light aroma of caramel and a little grain. Taste is about the same. Lightly sweet, more lightly bitter. Taste of caramel and a little sugar. Medium bodied with a somewhat creamy yet kinda thin texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, it’s not too bad. I’ll finish this bottle but probably won’t be buying it again.
