New Belgium Abbey

Bottle split with EDA many moons ago. Nice brown colored beer with decent numbers of floaties doing there thing. Fruity aroma, some bananna and yeast. Medium bodied. Flavor is full and rich in yeast and fruit. Quite well done.

Deep brown with flashes of red and a small head. Aromas of spicy fruits, bananas and yeast come through pretty strong. Soft malty base with a sugary sweetness and a complex fruit flavor. Quick, clean, roasted finish leaves a good taste behind. Seems to be slightly thin and more fizzy than usual for a dubbel, otherwise really good.

12 oz bottle Best before date 3/31/05. sampled on 8/27/05
Pours out opaque brown with a small tan head.
Aroma is fruity, (raisons, cooked banana) and a little doughy.
flavor is carmel, banana, prune, and some light hops.
tasty

Nose is fresh and fruity, with lots of banana and cherry presence. Also, fig and spice. Medium body creates a nice transport for more banana and plum. The body has a nice depth, soft carbonation, fruit yeastiness and somewhat roasty finish. Really good!

Ruby red color. Smooth thin white head. Spicy and yeasty aroma. Flavor is big and spicy. Palate is well cabonated. Alcohol is evident. Not impressed.

Bottle poured a dark amber with a nice thick white head. Dark fruit and yeast aroma. Flavor is clean and crisp with a medium body, yeast, ripe fruit, banana and a roasty finish.

Tasted at brewery and purchased on many occasions. Quite possibly NBB’s most consistent beer in terms of flavor from purchase to purchase. Slight cloudy brown color and wonderful banana/clove/bubblegum flavor. Nice smooth mouthfeel makes this easy drinking for such a flavorful beer.

Pours reddish brown with a large head that fades to a thin layer. Aroma is of dough, caramel, slight hay. Flavor of caramel, dough, slight hay, some banana, a slight alcohol in the back of the throat. Light to medium body and a smooth slightly thin palate. Slight roast comes in the aftertaste. Very solid beer.
