Very decent dubbel style abbey ale. Somehow, not so easy to find, only encountered it once.

Bottle at Granny’s house in Exira, Iowa. Dark amber brown appearance with a big light tan head. Sweet light candy sugar, Belgian ale nose. Quite sweet candy sugar, dark Belgian ale flavor. Caramel malty taste.

Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with lots of little dark chunks and a medium sized foamy beige head that lingered and produced good lacing. The aroma was very faint sugar, plum and nougat. The flavor was yeasty with notes of almond nougat, faint tart cherry and pears and a touch of wood and perfume. Medium finish and medium body. Ok.

Moderate malty aroma. Huge, creamy, off-white head.Good lacing. Cloudy brown body. Light sweet flavor. Fruty fnish flavor .Medium palate.

Bottle. Murky dark brown with a beige head that settles to a thick coat. Aroma of dough, brown sugar, citrus, slight vinegar, herbs. Really quite watery. A little sugary sweetness, plums and yeast, then some vinegar and quite medicinal herbs. Ends dry and slightly astringent. Interesting beer - quite liked the sour and herbal elements but a bit distractingly watery.

Bottle @ DØE meeting. Pours dark brown, looks a little thin, dense offwhite head. Aroma taste and tart and sweet fruit, malt. Thin body and mouthfeel. 190111
