Shed Abbaye

NEBF ’05 Deep amber/brown,hazy with a small light tan head.Aroma of dark fruit,rasins,dates, and bready yeast and mat. Taste is bready,yeasty moderately bitter with alittle sweetness coming through. My favoite Shed beer so far

Much thanks to grassrootsVT for this... Appears a dark amber with a nice off-white head that never really fades out. Streaks of lacing are left along the interior of the glass. Smell is of dark fruit, freshly baked bread, raisins, figs, as well as the classic Chimay yeast that bumps it up a notch in my opinion. Taste is bready with sugary figs and raisins standing out, along with a nice maltiness that has a pleasant roasted nuttiness about it. Mouthfeel is sugary, medium carbonation, bready, and very pleasant. Drinkability is good. Very well done and the yeast is implemented nicely. The Shed has a winner with Shaun Hill. I expect to hear great things from him in the near future.

Hand bottled sample from the brewer thanks to weeare138 (thanks!). Poured a dark and cloudy brownish color with a small off white head. Aromas of yeast, dark fruits with some spices. Tastes of dark fruits (prunes and dark cherries) and yeast.

Poured a hazy brown color with a thin, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of dried fruits, spices, dried fruits, and yeast. Taste of more dried fruits, cherries, caramel malts, plums, light roasted malts, and some more yeast as well. I also noticed some rum in the taste.
