New Belgium Abbey

Dark brown with medium head. Aroma of sweet dark fruit. Very drinkable and refreshing. Light dark fruit with some spices throughout. Good, but doesn’t have the fullness of a great belgian. This could easily work its way into my normal rotation of beers....affordable and good.

355 ml bottle. Pours a nice mahogany with a dense tan head. Hints of fruit and spice in the nose. Medium to full body. Notes of plum and toffee give way to a dry, slightly tart finish.

Pours a clear golden brown, with little head. Aroma is a little sour, bready. Flavor is slightly modestly belgian. A thirteen.

Bottle into pint glass. Nice thick head, off white. Dark color. Aroma is very malty with some chocolate, very pleasant. Taste is sharp as it enters the mouth and susbsides into a taste very similar as the aroma. Nice beer.

a decent brew, muddy brown color. a big cherry licorice flavor with some chocolate malt and some carmel, some yeasty characters and some rosewater. bland fruity and not that amazing. good though for passing the time.

Pours a dark yet clear rusty orange amber with a thick beige head. Aroma of dark fruity malts, banana, yeast and cotton candy. Taste is malty with dark fruit and banana hints and a cotton candy clove finish. Very good.

Bottle. Pours dark copper with some ruby highlights. Mostly diminishing beige head with ok lacing. Nose is sweet and musty: ripe banana, yeasty bread/cereal, and a hint of orange and some spice. Tastes very fruity: orange peel and banana with a caramel backbone. Finish is floral then goes sour with a dry end. Not bad.

Color is somewhere between amber and brown. The nose.....is there a banana in my glass or am I just happy to see.....nevermind. Smells like a big banana dipped in coriander. The flavor is sweet and malty and I can just get a sense of alcohol as it warms. Love this one.
