does not count nhlbeerstud (1), acworth, Georgia, USA Aug 30, 2006 One of the best belgina style abbeys I have had. Nice dark-burnt amber color, light tan head. Very slight yeast taste, also not overly sweet like some abbeys. Alcohol comes through about halfway through the bottle. Great beer from an already great brewery!!!!!
carruthm (391), Seattle, Washington, USA Sep 6, 2008 One of the few belgian styles not from Belgium that I enjoy. Lots of head and a complex spice and fruit aroma. Dark fruits on the taste. Praetorian (51), Los Angeles, California, USA Sep 6, 2008 Amber in color with a good sized light brown head with very good lacing. The aroma is dominated by dark fruits with a hint of molasses and a strong hops backbone. The flavor is of dark fruits with a little raisin, molasses, oak, and a hint of apples. The texture is creamy. Overall its a very good abbey ale with a very complex and relaxed flavor; very enjoyable m4rest88 (50), Beverly Hills, California, USA Sep 6, 2008 Pours with a light brown head that is mostly lasting over an amber hue.
Aroma is of dark fruits - dates, prunes, some grape, and plums and little of hops. Aroma also has some sweetness to it - a little molasses.
Dark fruit flavor with some oak, apples. It is a little bit bitter on the finish, not so much though. Sweet beginning.
Creamy to the palate with lively carbonation. a very good beer. drpimento (499), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Sep 4, 2008 this is one the beer closest to a belgian from us of a that I’ve ever encountered. Bravo! Big foamy frothy textured head and plenty of lace. Soft texture, slightly perfumey. Clear dark rich amber with red highlights. Not too sweet. Great balance. Almost a session considering what it is. djd07 (345), Houston, Texas, USA Aug 31, 2008 Updated: Sep 3, 2008on tap at flying saucer. Has a dark brown color with a small light tan head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is roasted malt and raisin. Good sticky lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet malt and hides the alcohol well. A very good Belgian strong ale from north coast.
