EBF 2007: Hazy brown pour with a light tan head. Aroma, oak and vanilla some yeast. Flavor, spice, some oak and caramel, and some fruits to it.

Draft. Sampled at Monk’s Cafe Lost Abbey dinner 2/6/07. Sampled alongside the Lost and Found. Ruby brown color. Minimal head; much less carbonated than its non barrel aged counterpart. Sweet aroma, with vinous qualities. Big malty taste, wood is fairly prominent. Delicious.

UPDATED: FEB 6, 2011 Tasted on tap at the 1st Annual Bistro Barrel Aged Beer Festival. This abbey double poured a medium brown color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is malty, fruity with a smoke. Medium bodied abbey double. Malts are fruity and sweet but a touch estery. It’s a little more banana and clove than the lost and found. Some oak and yeast. Think it could use some more aging. It really didn’t have a lot of oak flavor yet. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with some spices.
