Tejas (693), Dallas, Texas, USA May 21, 2006 Malty but not too sweet. Dry palate. Little bready flavor too. Maybe a little apple in the nose? OK, but nothing too special. Kind of expensive too. I think a 4pk was $13.99. StewardofGondor (1934), Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA May 15, 2006 Semi-hazed, rusty and ruby brown in color with widespread tan cotton foam that’s one-inch tall for the head. Aroma revels in glory. Dates, whole wheat bread, brown sugar, caramelized prunes, golden raisins, nutmeg, maple fudge, anise and chocolate-dusted banana chips. Devine. Certainly a flavorful array. Pepper and flower petals introduce a sweet visage with a silhouette of chocolate butter, cloves and brown bread. Spiced intoxicating enclave. Chocolate dipped licorice sticks, pumpernickel, golden raisins and a plum flavored, milky cheesecake character. Creamy, palatable and an absolute enjoyment wherever the tongue tosses it. Everything melds so well. Brown sugar and seven-grain muffins help with the encore, along with cloves, bananas dipped in peppered cocoa butter and sweet recognition that lasts long into the night. Odeed (1666), Bakersfield, California, USA May 2, 2006 deep crimson red with a super creamy light brown head.aroma was a blend of apple,straw,plums,malts and belgian yeast.the flavor was much in the same with a medium mouthfeel thesunjay (3), Denton, Texas, USA does not count Apr 28, 2006 A complex flavor full of caramel and bitterness. I felt it was somewhat lacking in what I expected of an Abbey Ale though. thehoff (567), Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA Apr 26, 2006 Smells of sweet malted milk, caramel, nutmeg perhaps. Nice flavor. Very sweet but then also a finish that reminds me of a good espresso. Nice and quite quite dry. Quite a nice Belgian. I havent had one in a while. SHIG (2012), Aviano, Italy Apr 26, 2006 Dark brown with light brown froathy head. Very sour floral aroma. Bitter citrus flavor jumps to the front, but finishes with a smooth spicy caramel malt. ryan (1774), Beltsville, Maryland, USA Apr 24, 2006 Pours a dark amber with a thick, rocky, off-white head. The aroma is golden raisins, cookie dough, candi sugar and caramel. The flavor is very fruity with plums and bananas, cola, caramel and candi sugar. The mouthfeel is light with lively carbonation. Cornfield (4892), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA Apr 24, 2006 Pours a dull reddish brown with a creamy tan head. It’s got a complex aroma supported by a rich, malty base of dark caramel lightened by sweet toffee. Plenty of fruit to be enjoyed in the nose as well, plums, apples, raisins, and bananas, as well as a subtle spiciness. The flavor is more straightforward, caramel and alcohol with some dried fruits, all blended with a licorice stick. Very soft mouthfeel. It finishes on a mildly bitter, spicy note with the dryness of alcohol. Very good.
