Jan 11, 2009 2007 vintage. In the corked bomber bottle from Pizza Port. Pours a rich goldenrod yellow with a very thin white head that dissolves rapidly. This has a mild sour nose that is fairly masked by what I would describe as a freshly ground apple cider apple aroma. The flavor is dryer than it is sweet, but the medium hop bitterness blends it into a nice finish. Not outstanding, but pleasant.

Jan 8, 2009 Bottle. Brownish beer with a strong head. The aroma is strongly spiced and mildly vinous, and the flavour is mellow, spiced and quite strongly vinous and bitter at the finish. Overall a very nice beer.

Jan 4, 2009 Uklar lys ravfarvet med et lille hvidt skum. Dufter og smager af rugbrød, karamel, er frugtet og godt maltet. Ikke noget særlig humle at bemærke

Dec 28, 2008 It’s wonderful to come back to Colorado and see how distribution channels have changed in the previous 3 months. Here I am at my favorite beer store (Davidson’s) and suddenly there’s Port and Lost Abbey beers - a whole lineup! So I convinced my friends to make a stop there after dinner to pick up some lounging booze, and convinced one of them to split a Lost Abbey beer with me. He chose the Avant Garde, which didn’t look too exciting to me, confirmed in my tasting. A brown-orange beer with a pretty good head on top, an an aroma of toasted grains and hops. The flavor was the same, featuring a dry and toasted grainy flavor with a really delicious dose of savory none-too-bitter hops and a long, relishing after taste. But I expected more. A lot more. At $9.50 a bottle (not including tax) there’s simply not enough of interest.

Dec 28, 2008 Bottle from the Sam-apostrophe-s in Downers Grove, IL. It poured a light golden amber body with a head full of multi-sized bubbles - all of which vanished pretty quickly and left no lace. The aroma was malty with touches of honeycombs and a light floral topping. The flavor had a woody maltiness, orchard fruit, honey, alcohol, and a floral bitterness. Not bad, but a bit costly for what it delivers.
