New Belgium Abbey

Bottled. Pours amber in color. Aroma is dark and roasty with traces of yeast and a little fruit. Dark and somewhat roasty flavor. Some yeast and spice as well. A touch fizzy, but otherwise it is pretty good.

Grainy malt aroma. Mahogany color with creamy head. Rich cola flavors with lots of that banana belgium yeast and some toasted malt. Very fruity but the toasted flavors balance. Leaves a nice impression.

Draught. Pours mahagony with a thin creamy tan head that moves to the glass edge; excellent spotty lacing. Banana yeast and clove malt with farm/grassy notes and citrus hop. Oak yeast and barn/leather flavor with banana and clove notes. Medium bodied and spicy.

The head is great. Tastes like Belgian ales, but not overly strong. The flavor starts well but disappears too quickly, leaving a little something to be desired. Compared to the average Belgian price, however, this is excellent.

Pours a wonderful brown. Flavors are hints of fruit and roasted malt. Yeast is a hidden culprit on the tongue. A nice effort from a great brewery.

Red to brown clear pour with a great head. I found this a bit dry more simple, yet bold Belgian flavor. Tart yet not bitter. Not much of a fan of pale or amber ale, but would get this one again. It is worth a look.

Clear deep Ruby color with massive foamy tan head. Nice lacing. Good Belgian flavor, not as complex as the top-notch Belgian ales. A bit thin feeling but still a nice US made Belgian.

12 oz bottle. Pours reddish brown with a smallish head. Aroma is banana and bubblegum with candi sugars. Taste starts smooth with a caramel sweetness then the flavors of light, dried fruits and floral hops comes in. A very decent dubbel indeed. Aged a few years it’s even tastier.
