Mar 19, 2008 I made the mistake of trying this when I toured the New Belgium brewery a while back. I say mistake because now it really bugs me that I can’t get it anywhere else. A lovely amber color and a thick, lasting head. Sweet,fruity aroma. Wonderfully complex flavor with hints of sweet fruit and clove spice. A great mix.

Jan 31, 2008 Fantastic beer, and a richer version of Abbey as the description tells you. 9.4% alcohol... Woooooo. If they sold this at the liquor stores I’d buy it all the time. It’s only available at the New Belgium Brewery, and make sure to give it a try if/when you go there.

Oct 11, 2007 Had this beer on 3/27/2001. Color is a deep amber with good carbonation and head. Aroma is a strong malt scent. Taste is sweet and rich. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a sharp rich feel. Finish is a rich sweet malt falvor with a shrap sweet end.

May 14, 2007 I had this one on tap at the Bolder Strong Ale Fest and just got around to writing about it.
The aroma was like Abbey squared, just more aromatic with a stronger nose of clove and banana. Flavor was great, if you like Abbey you will love this beer. I drank around 15-appx 2oz (sometimes more) fills, and the ABV could really be noticed.
This is an excellent session beer, just like the normal Abbey.
