A dark brown abbey ale, smells like alcohol and malt, tastes the same. Not much foam. Decent flavor, could be sweeter.

Brown in color with nice head. Nice toffee and malty flavor. This is one of my favorites. Ok, what is going on here? Sometimes the 8 says “Brune” and sometimes there is no “Brune”. I always thought there were two types of 8’s, but I don’t see them listed? I always thought that the 8 without the “Brune” was better....am I crazy? Don’t answer that question!

330ml Bottle - The Liquor Collection - Honolulu, Hawaii
Aroma – Deep Belgian aroma the yeast was very powerful and the malts also.
Appearance – Brown in color, lacey with a thin head and clear.
Flavor – Big Belgian flavor lots of malts, dried fruit in the flavor also this was a good Belgian ale.
Palate – Crisp and flavorful Mouthfeel, good texture finishes quite dry.
Overall – Had a decent flavor as a strong Belgian I expected this to knock my socks off this had great flavor and showed lots of good brewing character.

Pours a dark but somewhat clear amber with a thick layer of cream-colored head that quickly dissipates to a bit of lacing. Aroma is caramel sugar and undertones of bourbon. Flavor is caramel, banana, and hints of bourbon. Very little carbonation.

12oz Bottle. Grainy earth and honey aroma. Light sweetness and yeast profile. Bits of caramelized sugars. Beer runs a wooden brown, with a tall lacy soap in khaki. Flavor is rather predictable, with rich bready malts and surprisingly warm alcohols. Hop resins glow through the backend. Really, a touch too warm to make this consistently palatable. Malt flavor edges lightly thin and shallow. Not the best.
