Ommegang Abbey Ale

Pours an amber colour with a tan frothy medium head. Aroma is slight metallic, dark fruits, and cherry. Initial taste has a fizzy mouthfeel with dark fruits, cherry, cocoa, and funky metallic notes. Finishing with a mild bitter hop. Slight lacing of the glass. Medium body.

Medium yellowish brown head. Deep hazy brown mahogany body. Malty egg aroma with banana notes over a cinnamon background. Dry vinuous cinnamon licorice soapy peppery taste with banana notes. Dry caramelly afttertaste with cardboard notes. Liked this less than I expected. (0.75l bottle at RBNAG’07.)

Smells sweet and strong like a typical Belgian strong. Looks dark brown and opaque, curious. Thin consistent head. Tastes fruity, honey with a caramel style aftertaste.

Pours dark amber with fluffy tan-white head. Aroma is sweet and nutty, with notes of maple, dark fruit, caramel and honey. Flavor is sweet: apple, anise, berry, balanced with light yeast, toffee, chocolate, and molasses. Nice dry palate.

A dense lasting tan head over a burgund colored body. Pleasant and complex aromas. Belgo-yeast and a range of inviting fruits; mainly sweet apples, plums and berries. Whiffs of caramel and flowers. Taste is fruity-sweet, malty, light yeasty and very well rounded. Medium to full body. Mild bitterness and warming alcohol in the finish. Excellent. (750 ml bottle @ RBNAG’07)

75 cl bottle. Dark brown color, medium beige head. Caramell, dark malt, fruity and floral. Nice bitter finish. (RBNAG’07 in Grimstad Nov. 3th.)

Moderate foamy head, heavy lacing, strong, tofee, light floral flavor. Not very sweet for an abbey ale. Bitter, strong alcohol finish.

750 ml bottle into trappist glass. Pours a dark ruby brown with a few fingers of tan head. Toffee and caramel malt aroma. A hint of liquorice and chocolate in the flavor, with a nice sweet toffee aftertaste. A good Belgium strong ale for the price.
