Commercial Description:
Abbey 11 is a strong amber ale brewed in the style of the strong ales made by the Trappist monks in Belgium. Aged for 6 months this beer can be enjoyed now or treat this bottle like wine and it will develop over the next several years.

Aroma of dark fruit, caramel malt, some toffee. Tastes very dark fruity, with caramel, some tart kriekyness, and a well balanced mouthfeel. I prefer the Abbey 8 slightly, but I loved this also.

Also sampled bottle #398 thanks to egajdzis. People tell me how good McKenzie’s beers are and I’ve yet to make it. After sampling this Belgian Strong Ale I know I need to visit the brewpub. Dried fruit, caramel and nice bite to the finish. I happy I sampled Abbey 11, it made me a believer in McKenzie’s hype.

Bottle courtesy of Schoolteacher. Cloudy orange with a sticky sweet taste. Flavors were both vineous and sweet, perhaps too sweet. Alcohol kick is over the top but the flavors did layer themselves. Yeast is supposedly Chimay.

Bottle #398, TY egajdzis: Hazy amber color with no head to speak of. Aroma was of alcohol and ripened dark fruits. Cherry comes out on the palate with a fair amount of sweet maltiness. A nice heat in the finish. Very tasty beer and I’m saddened to hear it was the last one available.
