telepork (84), USA Feb 26, 2006 GReat aroma. Smells like raisins and peaches with coffee and chocolate. Thick, ivory head. The color changes depending on the clarity. Smoky palte, yeasty taste with bitter finish. I really enjoy this one. scraff (1920), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Feb 25, 2006 Draft - Deep brown, creamy light tan head. Soft nose of iced tea, fruit cake, raisin, and touches of cherry. Tea-like with more dark dusty fruit flavors (fig and raisin), with a light hop bitternes rounding this out. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dark fruity finish. For me, just uninteresting... Fin (3372), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Feb 24, 2006 Thick foamy head, plenty of carbonation, nice deep brown chesnut colour, bit yeasty and malty not too bad but not best of it’s style. smcd (366), USA Feb 22, 2006 Not bad. Big head. Dark brown. Complex belgian nose. Sour notes mingling with the sweet maltiness. Not much in the way of hops. Spritzy. JudgeDread (16), Minnesota, USA Feb 19, 2006 Nice yeast and hop aroma. Medium high carbonation which produce a huge off white head. Carmel flavor and raisin flavors over power that hops. jmuhops (663), Winchester, Virginia, USA Feb 11, 2006 Pours deep mahogany with a huge beige head that leaves splotchy lacing. Aroma is dominated by yeast, with some dark fruit and barnyardy must. Toffee, grass, and spices round it out. Smoky flavor. Also a lot of sweetness. Musty, slightly bitter finish. Creamy mouthfeel. Good, but lacks the complexity of the better Dubbels. TheBeerOrg (1563), Kentucky, USA Feb 11, 2006 Pours deep dark brown with a thin, foamy, mostly receding tan head. Aroma of plums, dates, sweet yeasty esters, banana, and clove. Taste is sweet toasted malts with yeasty esters, notes of earthy dusty yeast, plums, pepper, and herbal bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with lush carbonation. Very good! Quinten (954), zaandam, Netherlands Feb 1, 2006 thick foamy head, lots of carbonation,,dark brown color,... lots of complex bits, to much sour in the end, but overall a nice abby.
