kiefdog (1567), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 8, 2008 750ml bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa). Pours dark brown with two-finger white-tan head. Good head retention.

FInishes quickly. rustychiles (1007), Mesa, Arizona, USA Jun 4, 2008 Pours a hazy reddish brown with a nice tan head. Aroma of yeast, fruits, caramel, spices, malt.

Yest, fruit, bubblegum, caramel and malt - typical Belgian flavours. Fairly dry and not much carbonation. Nice brew. lassem (296), Copenhagen, Denmark May 31, 2008 Bottle 75 cl. A hazy redish and bown body. A nice and light fruity and caramellish nose. The flavor is typpicaly belgian and I sense hits of fruits caramel and honey. The palet is kind of sparkeling and you sense the alcohol
A long lasting smooth finish Ceebs25 (217), Naperville, Illinois, USA May 30, 2008 bottle. nice bready aroma. Maple brown color, very cloudy, decent head with the pour, dissapates fairly quickly. slight kick on the tongue to start, good malty finish. Pretty decent overall. elihapa (1033), Honolulu, California, USA May 29, 2008 Pours a ruby-brown color with a large cream head. Unfortunately, the bottle I had had been shaken or hit so when I popped the top the head foamed all over. Anyway, the aroma is of dark fruit, yeast, spices and malts. Nice, but a little subdued. Flavor was a bit veiled behind the intense fizzy palate. I tasted raisins, chocolate malt, some wine-like grape, and light alcoholic flavor. Good blend, but maybe not forward enough. For the price, get yourself a couple bombers of Ommegang’s Abbey Ale. posikyle (165), Alabama, USA May 28, 2008 Pours a amber/red color with a thick, loosely formed head and slightly malty aroma. This tasted really watered down, a very boring beer, I’m not sure why it’s rated so highly; slightly malty, some hints of raisins and alcoholic bitterness in the end. Probably wouldn’t buy again. taunusmies (276), Finland May 28, 2008 Pours dark brown with a foamy off-white head. Malty, spicy nose with herbs. Malty aroma, slightly hoppy. Sweet elements occasionally. Notes of toffee, raisins, dried fruits. A bit yeasty. Less carbonated than for example Chimay Blanche having a positive effect on mouthfeel.
