3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Good in small sips. Too sweet, but only mild alcohol for this strength. Lots of raisins and other fruits with some yeast as well. Full bodied and dense mouthfeel. Very slight carbonation, almost still. No hops. Sweet finish.

Ok, let me fucking try this again. Thanks Ratebeer for requesting me to sign-in again, after I had already fucking done so! Shit, now I have to fucking type everything all over again. Anyways, 11.2 oz. bottle from Green’s on Ponce De Leon. For $3.99 (before-tax) you can’t be that for a beer so heavily lauded. Nice dark brown body with a tight head sitting on top. Alcohol is definitely present in the aroma. The alcohol is slightly distracting, but it doesn’t interfere with the harmonious blend of aromas. The aroma consists of: Belgian yeast, sugar, fig, date, grape, raisins, and alcohol aromas. The carbonation could be tweaked slightly. It seems a bit too carbonated. Soften the texture up a little bit, and you have the perfect Abt. The aroma is so pungent. The alcohol carries quite the "warming effect", which is slightly annoying. Something so trivial as alcohol is not going to take away from the accord of flavors here i.e. (again) Belgian yeast, sugar, fig, date, grapes, raisins, and alcohol. Honestly, if you made changes to texture and the presence of alcohol, I would say this would be the highest rated Abt on the site. This is a damn fine Abt, and being so cheap I can’t help but be in love.

Surprisingly good beer, has the richness of a Trappist. Sweet and firm, but certainly not sugarish. I haven’t seen the colour as I drank from the bottle.

Bought in beer shop. Unfortunately this will nor be my piece of cake. I read ratings an all said what a wonderful taste. For me it was very acid, it tasted like broken wine. I am very sad, because I was looking forward for a perfect experience.

4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle.
A - Deep, tawny brown. Large foamy off-white head with decent retention and decent lacing left.
S - Sweet bready malt and barley, Candied dark fruit and dark sugar.
T - Decent amount of sweet caramel malt and barley that mixes with dark fruit (date, plum, prune, cherry). Slight sweet chocolate taste. Alcohol is pretty apparent too, some spice too (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove). Taste somewhat like a cherry cola.
M - Medium close to full body with above average carbonation. Really creamy and smooth.
D - Probably a little too sweet and too much alcohol to be extremely drinkable. Combined with the ABV, drinkabiltiy isn’t great as far as drinking more than one a night, but would have again.
Notes: Would be a great dessert beer, especially on a cold winter night. Fairly sweet and alcoholic, with a good amount of warming.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours red/brown with a light brown consistent foam.
The aroma has toffee-sweetness, and you fell the alcohol too. Notes of brown sugar and vanilla.
The taste has a lot of malty sweetness, that also has notes of toffee. A hoppe ending and a after taste with the bitterness of the hops, but also a note of brown sugar.
The aroma is great, but the taste is far too sweet for my taste.
