BVery (446), Burnsville, Minnesota, USA Sep 12, 2009 TAP: hazy brown pour, beige head. Aroma is grape/raison, Belgian taste of yeast, malt, fairly complex. Really good stuff. Allen (1282), Switzerland Sep 3, 2009 Bottled 33cl. 6.5 ABV. Hazy brown beer with a huge mountainous light beige head which leaves some lacework. Sweet spicy aroma with caramel, honey, clove, nutmeg, a lot of plum, orange peel, vitamin tablets and a strong yeast character which is reminiscent of Unibroue. Sweet yeasty taste with plum, yeast, clove, nutmeg and orange peel showing up. A tad acidic, citrusy. Lively carbonation. Yeasty finish with lingering hints of marmite, very faint burnt plastic and nutmeg. A very yeasty, spicy brew I didn’t enjoy a lot. Interesting. daknole (2802), Plantation, Florida, USA Sep 2, 2009 Bottle. Nice beer! Brown pour, tan head. Prunes, raisins, yeast, spice aroma. Flavor is full of the prune and raisin flavors with some interesting tartness. I liked it. arrogantb is right, good food beer. arrogantb (695), Denver, Colorado, USA Sep 1, 2009 A friend was kind enough to share this with me. It had a cloudy yellow color that looked murky and the head was a white sticky pillow. The smell was musty and earthy to me. The flavors tastes yeasty, Belgian, and not much fruit. For some reason I think this would be perfect with some mussels and pomme frites.

Reviewed on: 09-12-2007 14:58:02 JK54B (913), Helsinki, Finland Aug 3, 2009 A 0.33L bottle from Alko shop. Fruity nose. Pale beige head. Hazy pale brown colour. Spicy malty taste with some hints of prunes. Not sweet. Slightly sour. At the end hoppiness and bitterness. kapusta (84), Dover, Delaware, USA Jul 26, 2009 Brown body. Sweet taste with fall spice flavors, maybe cinnamon. Easy to drink , but not as complex as I would have like. Mild and average. Geiserich (1775), Vienna, Austria Jul 21, 2009 Bottled: Aroma is sourly/fruity, notes of plums, spices and herbs. Hazy, brown color, foamy off-white head. Fruity, sourly flavor. Notes of bananas, grapes, lemon peel, herbs and some alcohol. Notes of cinammon, cloves, herbal hops in the end. Dry, quite bitter end. Complex, tasty beer. LilBeerDoctor (1480), East Setauket, New York, USA Jul 19, 2009 Bottle, mostly likely aged for a year or so. Pours a cloudy brown with a thick off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, some light spices (pepper, allspice even) and a touch of roasted malt. Flavor of yeast and sweet fruits initially with some roasted malt and spices in the finish. Pretty decent--I was a little scared of this beer considering that I didn’t know how old it was/how well it held up over time, but it was fine! Not too sweet either, which often plagues some abbey dubbels. Nice beer!
