This decadent Chocolate Abbey Ale is a lovely trifle for your senses. Brewed with a proprietary Belgian yeast and English Maris Otter Malt it is smooth and rich. Inspired by a recent tour of Europe and brewed with chocolate we enjoyed there. Subtle Segal Ranch hops promote the rich dark chocolate flavors of this rather strong Dubbel. Best served at 48 °F. An elegant excuse to linger after dinner.

12oz bottle thanks to footbalm pours out dark amber topped with a small head. Nose is crazy good chocolate lots of spices pepper and some yeast. Tatse is more of the nice sweet chocolate then the bread abbey notes with spice.

12oz bottle pours with a dark mahogany body that supports a thin tan head. The aroma offers up nice chocolate notes backed up by spiced figs, some juicy berry notes and a black pepper sense at the end of the draw. The taste is similar with plenty of chocolate bar goodness going on where date and fig and spiciness and mild black pepper notes murmur away underneath. This is a tasty brew that manages to somehow be a tad dry at the finish.

Bottle thanks to Sean, shared at the Homer "welcome to california" tasting. Pours dark brown chestnut, medium tan head, a bit fizzy, nice residual lacing. Aroma is very chocolate, a bit of belgian spiciness. Medium sweet, light bitter, chocolate, yeast spicy esters. Medium body. Interesting.

Bottle thanks to Ibrew2or3: poured a thick dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is chocolate and fruit. Taste is a weird mix of dark fruit and sharp chocolate.

Opaque dark brown beer. Very pale tan head, tidy. Light palate, crispy and fairly dry. Smooth chocolate powder. Mild fruits and bubblegum underneath. Dry dark chocolate malt and mild minerals in the finish. Joins up quite well.

12 oz. bottle, sent from FullObs (thanks Brett), pours a dark mahogany with a medium beige head. Aroma is full of chocolate, Belgian yeast, some cinnamon, and dry powdered cocoa. Flavour of chocolate / cocoa powder, cinnamon and brown sugar. Very thin body, kind of watery, with flavours that become muted on the finish. Decent, but watery and weak.

Brown beer. There is a nice aroma of cocoa, with yeast. Flavor is lightly sweet and somewhat nutty, more chocolate here, and a light character of an abbey style beer. Very smooth palate, some dried fruit, with a full malt character that almost makes me think Brown Ale. A solid beer, but far from New Glarus’ best work.

12 oz bottle from arminjewell. Nose is dark chocolate, a hint of vanillin, and malted milk balls the malted milk coming through very strongly after I sniff a while. Dark brown with a medium tan head that laces lightly. Flavor is chocolate, ahint of bitterness, and malt. A nice, very drinkable dubbel.

12oz bottle-pours dark amber with a disappearing offwhite head. Aroma is chocolate-medium malt, earthy. Taste is chocolate-medium malt, earthy/spice hops, musty. Interesting.
