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.

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.

Enjoyed at the csbosox tasting 7/3. 750ml Bottle mail ordered from South Bay (Imperial Beach, CA). Pour is deep brown with a hint of red in the background. Aroma is malt and a bit of sweetness. Some alcohol is present in the nose. Taste is raisin and big malt and a finish of whisky, wine and alcohol. Nicely done, but may have improved with a bit of age on it.

Brown beer, an unremarkable appearance. Aroma has toffee and malt. Flavor is more malt and bitter hops. It is interesting enough, but a medium bodied, rather ordinary beer overall. I have no idea why this is rated so highly.

I heard Solan had brought a very unique beer along to taste. I would have never guessed I was going to have the opportunity to try this beer. Huge thanks to Alan for sharing this one.
Pours a murky, muddy, soupy, brackish brown with tan head. The aroma is very light with hints of dark chocolate, light amounts of dark fruit and some yeastiness. The taste begins with both dark fruit and chocolate malts sort of like prunes, dates and cherries soaking in dark chocolate. Midway the sweetness grows. Into the finish there is long lingering black patent malt and caramel notes that carry on for what seems like forever. One of the longest most pleasant aftertastes I’ve experienced. This one is a real treat and certainly a nice one for rating:
#700
