This was is a great beer. Much smaller head than the abbey brown I have had - very good brew. Great flavor with a hint of orange and ginger. Will enjoy again as soon as I can!

Oh man that’s good! The gigantic, light brown head hung around for a long time, and the medium body was deep brown. Big malt aroma with a little chocolate, some spices, dried fruit and alcohol. It tastes great and it hangs around for a while. Excellent Christmas brew!

I really liked this beer. Poured a huge bready head and brown body. Smelled of yeast, a bit of fruit, and sweet malt. Taste was very subtle...yeast,citrus fruit, alcohol, and a bit of spice. Was a very light bodied belgian. I’d drink it again.

Brown, short beige head. Very malty aroma and flavour. Brown sugar. Yeast, some fruity notes. Overall a bit onedimensional but nonetheless quite tasty ale. As the beer varms up more complexity develops: notes of coffee?Anise, Mints?
