| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Updated: Nov 9, 2009 bottle poured a light brown in color with no pop on the cork and a still look in the glass. aroma has rich raisins, plumb, hefty sweetness, and some spices. mouth feel is sugary thick and the liquid is completely flat. flavor has loads of thick fruit, raisins, spices, and sugary sweetness. the flavors overall were real nice but the stillness was throwing. I have had this bottle for a few months so I will make a point of a rerate.

The color was very dark brown, the foam was very beautiful and lasting from first to last moment.
Very rich aroma, licorice, raisins, and a slight acidity. Very pleasant.
I liked the taste, the beer was good but it was not easy to describe the different flavors. Brown sugar, licorice, sweet malt and raisins were definitely there as some burnt tones. Also a touch of chocolate. Not that much carbonation.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 22, 2009 I found this disappointing. There was no carbonation, no head. Poured a muddy red-brown. The flavor was almost all raisin and cherry. A pretty sweet finish. Unbalanced in my book. Interesting, but nothing like what I expect from Lost Abbey.
