Jul 21, 2009 Dark brown pour with giant sized head. Lots of carbonation and lots of lacing. Had a malt/chocolate taste up front and a bitter champagne like after taste.

Jul 15, 2009 Poured out a monster thick tan head characteristic of the style which is very slow to shrink, crazy lacing, mahogany brew. Appealing aromas of red licorice, roses (I’m not the only one), a faceless blend of dark fruits, candy, background caramel - once I finally noticed it it was there, lingering like an unwanted relative (which in this case was good) - a dull sweetness and spice quality. All of that took a lot of smelling and imagination though - I would have preferred if these aromas would have been a little more upfront. Later on everything just blends together and I am left with a subdued aroma. Tastes of a milder version of burnt sugar, dark fruits (raisins, plums, figs - that might be a stretch though), alcohol when warmer, sweet spices work here. It’s decent but down on the list when it comes to selecting a Abbey Dub. I like turtles.

Jul 6, 2009 On tap at the Malt House: Pours a hazey brown colour with a shitload of sediment floating around. Small off white head suprisingly. Taste is nutty and sweet and firm on the maltiness- but after having a hop bomb like the Thrust, I was a little taken back. IT took me a little bit to soak in the entire experience of this beer. Super tastey however, and i can’t wait to have this again!

aroma of dark fruits, malty.
Taste, malty, candy sugar, dark fruits with a nice caramel mouthfeel.
Not too strong, keeps a nice sugary/sweet profile all the way through with added currants, prune, some light spices with faint hints of cinnamon.
