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.

    Strong aroma is malty and earthy with a firm overtone of rosemary and fruity hints. It pours an opaque dark-chocolate brown with a thick, frothy tan head. Be careful - this can fizz like all-get-out! Flavor is quite distinctive, earthy and fruity, equal parts grape and apple, with a firm but not overpowering rosemary note and hints of caramel and nuts. Full-bodied lively texture leaves an earthy, fizzy finish. Thou Shalt Drink Only Craft Brewed Beer!

    (2009 Edition) Coca cola brown, creamy tan cap. Aromas of cinnamon, chocolate malt, slight cheese cake, hints of spice. Taste is very close to the same with slight alcohol, lingering bitterness, hidden coffee, liquorish. The beer gets a Yum. I’m tasting raisins now I think only because I read that they used them in the recipe, do not taste any of the rosemary. Sweet candy sugar is showing up when warm. Good brew.

    2009-brewed w/raisins, honey, and rosemary. not really funky like it seems some past editions were, but pretty complex. the rosemary and raisiny fruit are eveident right away, the honey comes out as it warms. overall, an almost too sweet yeasty beer, the rosemary adding some uniqueness and complexity. tasty, full bodied.

    Very dark brown colour, big pale brown head. Moderate sourish fruity and dusty aroma, hints of lightly roasted malts, wet cardboard and damp basement - certainly not impressive. The flavour is very sweet, fruity and vinous, notes of raisins and dark dried fruits, brown candi sugar, some oak. Noticeable hops and dust in the finish.

    with a small lasting off-white head. Rish malty and yeasty aroma of cooca, nuts, fudge, licorice, caramel, anise and rounded yeast. Medium to full-bodied with notes of yeast, fudge, herbs, licorice and chcolate-crackers. Fitm, yet smooth mouthfeel. Long aftertaste of licorice, herbs, nuts, cocoa amd fudge with mild spicy undertones.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.
