Ommegang Abbey Ale

Brewed by Brewery Ommegang (Moortgat)
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Cooperstown, New York USA

A hazy deep red-brown beer with a nice brown head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of berries, but also lighter notes of yeast and wood. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of yeast, but also notes of wood, prunes, and berries, as well as hints of the alcohol. It is very sparkling on the tongue due to the carbonation, and it ends of with a slight alcohol burn.

Last of several beers of the night... i claimed it was the best but all i wrote was "Robust taste, Balance, Uber". So a rerate might need to happen.

Bottle. Hazy red with large white head. Sweet, fruit, malty aroma. Well balanced. Short aftertaste.

I liked this beer. A reddish beer with a nice aroma. Has a long lasting head on it.

pours brownish red, big fuzzy beige head. dark fruit aroma. begins sweet and fruity, gets a little dry and alcoholic in the finish which is unpleasant

beer pours a reddish mahogany with visible carbonation, a beautiful frothy head and nice lacing. aroma of figs, raisins, prunes, malt, traces of alcohol- very smooth upon first sniff. gorgeous flavor- nice mouthfeel, tastes similar to aroma, absolutely delicious. my favorite style, and i really love this beer.

Deep amber color topped with a thick long lasting tan head. Roasted malt aroma, with hints of fruits mixed in. Taste is burned, blackened, roasted malts, and a little sweet cherry flavor then on to a candy like tangy finish. Full bodied and rich. 8.5% alcohol content does generate a rush of alcohol and a tart, somewhat burned mouthfeel. A very solid brew.

Bottle. Hazy medium brown ale with dense tan head. Definitely some fruit and clove aroma. Flavor is full with and slightly sweet. Chocolate notes, not very sour at all. Dry finish. Better than most Belgian dubbels I’ve tried.
