4.7 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Maybe the best abbey ale brewed outside of Belgium. Deep amber, low carbonation, spicy (cloves present). 9/1/2008

This is the beer that started it all for me. I’d highly recomend enjoying it as it warms up to about 55-60. At 6.99 a bottle its the best value for my money and truly and outstanding experiance. A treat if you appreciate all the ever changing nuances of a finley crafted beverage.

I had my first Ommegang Abbey Ale and was very happy I did so. An outstanding Belgian style ale, made in New York as the bottle said 3600 miles from Belgium.
A malty strongly flavored beer (as you would expect from any Belgian Dubbel), with rich dark cherry and plum flavors.
The balance of flavors is outstanding, and these flavors are further enhanced by a clean dry finish
This is a top 10 beer for me.

Very pleasant, strong fruity aroma. Big frothy tan and nice brown, cloudy color. Light carbonation and good weight on the palate. And the taste ... Excellent. I’m a fan a beers with a strong flavor and a lot of body like this beer has.

This is a good beer.
Very nice mouthfeel, those little belgian bubbles. Very nice. Beautiful color. Very ice soft head, like a pillow. Malty, hoppy, spicy, very good...

Maudite glass. Classic, big-time Belgian pour--as good as they get. Dark brown with a touch of red; almost opaque-looking. Light brown head taking up 40% of the glass’s height, and a bit over the rim. Not going anywhere. Aroma is sweet, beautiful Belgian yeast. Smooth mouthfeel, light carbonation plays on the tongue as alcohol notes come through. This is a very delicate beer. Outstanding overall balance and drinking experience. This is when I say "it’s just good" (meaning, SIMPLY good, not MERELY good!).

Tried it on tap and bottled, excellant either way, but better draft. Sweetish with hints of coffee and alcohol.

Bottle shared with northropfye. Sweet aroma of prunes, raisins, and yeast. Tasted of prunes and raisins as well with a deeper liquorice note. I like it a lot.
