New Belgium Abbey

Bottle. Pours an amber color with a decent tan head. Taste is of smoke, caramel, roasted malt, fruit and yeast. Aroma is similar. Easy to drink and is fairly satisfying. Overall, it is a nice beer for being rather inexpensive. Well worth revisiting again.

Bottle from Total Wine in Roseville, CA. Poured a brown color with a good sized head. Sweet flavor with just a hint of dark fruits. Medium bodied beer that is very good for the price.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with a medium frothy light tan head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is a sweet malt with raisin and yeast. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet fruit, banana and a spicy finish. A good dubbel from New Belgium.

Garnet colored...impressive off-white creamy head. Nuttiness, dark fruit, caramel and brown sugar on the nose. You can definitely taste it’s Belgian influences but it just doesn’t stand up to the smaller batch beers in terms of complexity. A nice transitional brew. Inexpensive and tasty, but not amazing.

Mahogany with a medium off-white head. Aroma of fruit, brown sugar, nuts and bubblegum. Taste of brown sugar, nuts, toffee and fruit. Semi-dry nutty finish.
