Abbey Ale honors the ancient tradition of monks who perfected the art of brewing beer to support the monastery and their "liquid bread". We offer up our support and thank them with a 25¢ donation to St. Joseph's Abbey with every bottle sold of this heavenly brew. Dark amber in color, the aroma of caramel, fruits and cloves invites you to contemplate the creamy head of this "Dubbel" or double ale. Abita Abbey Ale is a malty brew, top-fermented and bottle aged to rapturous perfection.

SHRLsu sent this one to me as part of my winnings for the Pigskin and Porter Fantasy football league. Thanks Stephen.
A mahagoney body that is a mix of brown and reddish hues. A good sized brownish head that is creamy, thick and has some pretty good retention. Leaves some thin sheets and rings of lacing.
A sweet, malty bready nose with a touch of sugar.
Taste is not intensely sweet or fruity like a lot of dubbels, but I still think it is pretty tasty. Lots of sweet malt and a dose of candied sugar. A touch of dark fruits does come through.
Pretty dry mouthfeel for a dubbel. Pretty standard besides that.
Good drinkability. A solid beer over all.

From a bomber marked best by 1/11/17. Pours a semi-opaque copper color with a finger of fluffy white head. Smell is slightly sour with rich malt aromas. I'm already excited! Airy feel with the right amount of carbonation. Taste has dark fruit flavor up front followed by a rich malt and nut body. Very good beer, this one has the feel of a Belgian-made Dubbel, which is a big compliment for an American brewery.
