Ommegang Abbey Ale

Beautiful swirling dark hypnotizing pour from gunk on bottom of bottle. A tempest in a mug. Really sweet aroma, nearly sickening sweet, attractive in its own way. Taste impact is burned caramel. Very strong, near whiskey bulldozer. Creamy carbonation but it’s hidden in the misandry of repulse. A magniloquent example of the style. Finish is just plain anti- amicable. In your face danno. The aroma and appearance save this selection. I’m not good enough for this brew. Very difficult to enjoy.

Dark rich black brown color with a beige long lasting creamy head. Deep sweet caramel toffee smell witha floral hint. Taste was sweet and full of caramel and chocolate flavor.

Pours deep yet dull amber with semi loose dark tan head. The aroma is pretty rich with ripe plum, figs and dates along with modest amounts of yeasty spices in the background. The taste has the same dark fruity sweetness as noted in the nose and then slowly gets more and more prickly and bright with spiciness, spiced red apple, raisins, nutmeg and then picking up softer yeasty notes into the finish.

POW! The cork damn near fired out on its own! HEEHEE. Handsome tan/light brown head. Dark brown, chestnut color, pretty. Fruity nose with some licorice and breadyness too. Med/full body. co2 dances on the tongue. Full somewhat slick mouthfeel. Chocolate, fruity(banannas) and dark roasted grains combine pleasently, leading to a dry groovily lingering finish.

Nice settling beer, ruby with big light brown head. Sweet fruity aroma and likewise sweet taste. Bit too sweet, but that is normal with this style. (Chicago 201510)

Sure is a pretty honey amber cloudy brew. It didn't pour much of a head but what there was was white and disappeared quickly. The taste is good but the ABV is slightly noticeable. Very smooth with no hoppy taste.

Purchased at the Hunger Moutain Coop in Montpeliet, VT. Slightly haze copper colour with a frothy off-white head, average retention, but not much lacing. Big fruit nose with apples, plums, dates and some nuts. Slick mouthfeel with well-hidden alcohol. Loads of dark fruit, fresh wood in the finish. A nice Dubbel that is refreshing, full of fruits that gives you a different twist on the Belgian style. Well done.

LOved the dark coffe head that is produced and last a while. Let it stand for a couple of minutes if you can then, drink, slowly. Awesome weight in the mouth and goes down very smoothy. No alcohol roll off at the end which is very nice. I found my self at the bottom of this brew in no time and was quite dissapointed that i didnt grab another at the store. This is the first time i have tried Ommegang and in going in for the Hennipin next time. Hats off to Ommegang

Nice light brown foam top,dark ruby red color,myriad of aromas including alcohol notes, and dark fruits. Had a great flavor,dark fruits mostly, the alcohol did not show up in the flavor. Great beer, easily see why it so highly rated. Would be a nice bottle to age for a while, and a great after dinner beverage.

A very nice clear red brown dubbel, love the appearance. Everything else was underwhelming for an ommegang beer. Mouthfeel is good but not great, flavor and aroma barely register and there are too many better versions out there.
