Just released our newest seasonal – “Holy Sheet”. From the centuries-old tradition of Belgian Abbey monks comes our Uber Abbey Ale (9%). Aromatic and very full bodied, the beer will pour a deep burgundy in color and feature a rich, robust depth of malt character. Grab a line – Holy Sheet! – or you might be swept overboard.

12 oz. bottle from Julio’s Liquors. 2010 Vintage for $3.99. Wild 6 discount gives 15% off. Ok, I used a snifter. Hazy mahogany pour with excellent head retention plus it left tons of lace. Looks good. Nose of candied sugar and brown sugar and raisin. Smells nice. Flavors follow the nose. Medium to full in body with average carbonation and mild warmth on the way down. Finishes with lots of sweet malt. No doubt the age helped this. No ABV what so ever. Under rated if you ask me. One of the better Dubbel’s I’ve sampled.

Belgian-style beer demands a certain level of attractiveness, one that Holy Sheet does not provide. This beer pours the color of sweet tea with only slightly more head. Smell starts to turn things around; fruity yeast and sweet spice, mild but alluring. Tastes much better than I’d hoped, which sounds mean, but I’m being honest. Very laid back, malty with an apple-cider heart, an Abbey-ale that creates its own niche in the style and does it successfully. Scotch Ale-style maltiness meats a winelike, yeasty finish, but stays dry enough for rational discussion. Not great, but a pleasant pint. (5/11/09)

Tap at BCTC 2010. Pours rich amber with a moderat, brownish head. Nose holds sweet malts, fruits, faint spice and caramel. Similar attributes in the flavor, along with some roasted malt character. Medium to full in body with average carbonation and mild warmth. Finishes sweet with notes of raisin, plum, caramel, toast and very light hints of hops. Good, not great.

beer of summer @ OTH. burgundy, tan head. aroma and flavor, strong dark fruits; fig, date, plums, candi sugar, caramel, light chocolate malts, grainy, overall finish is roasty and chocolate malts. The finish is boozy and warming, this one has to be more than a dubbel.

rotating tap at JK O’Donnell’s - Pours slightly hazy, dark amber with minimal head. It smells of rich malt, a little dark fruit, and some alcohol. The flavor is sweet with dark fruit and alcohol. The flavor profile had me thinking Quad rather than Dubbel for some reason. It’s a full bodied brew that’s very good.

Pours a clear brown with an average sized off-white head. Caramel and molasses in the aroma, also a touch of vanilla. The flavor follows the aroma, big body and smooth delivery.
