Stoudts Abbey Double

Mahogany coloured. Nutty aroma with notes of camembert cheese. Malty, rather sweet and complex with soft mouthfeel. Nice toffee flavour. A full flavoured, but dangerously drinkable abbey double. Thanks jca_lbi for sending me this and many other excellent beers!!

Re-rate: Dark brown/red, unfiltered with minimal head. Apricot aroma. Sweet malty/yeasty/apricot flavor.

Dirty brown (dark chocolate milk) body, cloudy, diminishing light brown head. Aroma of bold chocolate, light notes of yeast, but mostly about malt. Earthy, dirty with light alcohol peaks and mostly a weird unexpected fruitiness along the line of oranges. In mouth, it's pretty tart, like an apple/orange/grapefruit juice to which you'd add earthy caramel. Quite off as far as flavor balance is concerned and definitely not up to Stoudt's standards as I've experienced them. Body is creamy, okay fitting if a little overcarbonated. Lots of room for improvement.

Vintage dated on 6/4/03: Pours a muddy murky brown with a thin off-white head. Aroma is rich and caramely sweet with some bready Belgian yeast in it. Starts sugary sweet with some yeasty complexity, caramel, toffee, and dark candi sugar flavors. Body is a little thin toward the finish and undercarbonated, plus this could use some more balance. Nice authentic Belgian flavors though make this a quite drinkable brew.

RBSG07. From 75 cL bottle. Pours hazy hazzlenut brown. Aroma is slight malty and dried raisin. Flavour is maltyd dried raisin flavour. Dried malty finish.
