Draught at The Abbot on the Hill. Rating #2200! Dark ruby-brown with a medium sized tan head that quickly recedes to a thin film. Fantastic aroma of malt, toffee, dark fruit, and a hint of spice. Full bodied without being sticky or cloying, very nice. Lovely, complex flavour - malt, caramel, brown sugar, dark dried fruit, toasted nuts - and a warm, lingering finish. Thanks to the Abbot and Premier Brands for bringing in this rare treat!

On tap @ The Abbott on the Hill, Toronto. Heavenly malt aroma, woody, pit fruit, caramel and treacle, auburn, tiniest toffee head. Flavour is a rich candied malt, caramel, toffee, butterscotch, almonds, raisins and pit fruit. Full bodied, very well balanced, complex, sweet, bitter, silky texture, way too easy to drink. Majestic! Way to go Abbott on the Hill!

Tapped at Abbot On the Hill. A great haul for them. Pours an active dark brown with white crown. Bold malt, and yeast aroma, including chocolate malt. Carbonation, natural, does not quit. In your face taste,a bit rochfort/cocacola caramel like, some nutmeg. Overall not too complex, good drinkability.

Deep chestnut body, huge lasting beige head; Pleasant but quite innocent nose with a slight acid touch; Big bubbled carbonation in a simple Trappist body with a bock touch, a bit strange; Malty a little cane sugary sweet finish, malty and fruity aromas. Drinkable but not really interesting.

Sampled during Cellar’s Wine & Spirits Wednesday evening beer tasting as Konings Hoeven Bock Bier. From bottle pours a clear dark copper amber brew with a moderate medium tan head that has some nice retention and sticky/spotty lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, some dry nobel hop character and a touch of dark pitted fruits. Taste is medium to full bodied, some moderate alcohol on the back-tongue with a semi-dry caramel malt flavor. Finish is semi-dry with some mild hop bitterness that quickly disappears.

[bottle] Poured a deep, cloudy brown with moderate white head. Aroma was full of caramel with some other malty flavors and tiny bit of hops. Not bad.

Nice pour of deep ruddy brown with a light tan head. Sweet and malty nose which carried into the flavor. Not very complex, but not bad.

Deep amber, reddish colour with a beige head. Malty, caramel sweet aroma with notes of bread and fruit. Malty, light roasted flavor with a fruity sweet note. Light dry and vague roasted finish with hints of alcohol.
