A stronger version of our Lost and Found Abbey Ale brewed to a more contemplative alcohol content. Massive in every stretch of the brewing way possible this is the sort of beer that will remind a beer drinker who considers themselves a saint that even saints stray as sinners from time to time. Not for the faint of heart, this beer weighs in at a heavenly 11.5% ABV and is available in 750 ml bottles and on draft at select locations.

[1] Review by Stoutlover72 from Northern, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/20/2008 1:58:57 PM)
"NorCal Feb '08 - I had brought this beer back with my on a Summer '07 trip to SoCal and was hoping 6 months of age would do something different, than what I tasted during that trip. Suprisingly, it had. Flavor was really a full on assault of dark fruit, some toffee and molasses. The body was really chewy which I enjoyed. Aroma is dark fruit, yeast..maybe even a touch rummy. Quite easy to drink actually. Nice beer!"

[2] Review by Vac from San Diego, California, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (12/21/2007 3:56:14 PM)
"Pours with a dark red-brown body topped by a thin to medium thick, off-white head with some lacing. It’s slightly sweet and malty with dark fruit and raison notes as well as some alcohol esters. Full bodied, sparkling and warming."

[3] Review by eaglefan538 from DE, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/27/2007 10:56:05 PM)
"Bottle shared by Slob. Deep murky brown color, off-white frothy head, decent retention and lacing. The aroma was rum-soaked raisins, spices (ginger-like), some yeast, other sweet dark fruits. Flavor was strong raisins (somewhat DFH raison d'etre like), brown sugar, spices (something ginger-like in it, a spice that I'm not very fond of), yeasty breadiness (particularly with warmer temperatures), a light smoke touch under everything. Mouthfeel was full, a bit creamy, only lightly carbonated. A nice one from LA, thanks, Bert!"

[4] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (7/11/2007 3:50:24 PM)
"Bottle courtesy of Naven: Poured a cloudy dark brown/burgundy color ale with a nice big light brown foamy head with great retention and good lacing. Aroma of dry raisins and dry figs is very enjoyable Taste is a well balance mix between some sweet malt with nice dry raisins and figs characteristics with a subtle yeasty finish. Body is full with some great carbonation and no alcohol could be detected. I thought this was similar to Chimay blue or Achel extra bruin and presents a very nice level of complexity. It is definitely something I wish I could get my hand on more often."

[5] Review by Clash from Chattanooga, TN, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/5/2007 1:22:53 AM)
"A murky brown appearance. The aroma consists of yams, brown sugar, and caramel. A lot of dark fruit flavors like plums and raisnis. I also taste some brown sugar, molasses, and chocolate. The alcohol stands out a little bit in this. A very nice Belgian Strong. Another one please!
