Abbey Ale honors the ancient tradition of monks who perfected the art of brewing beer to support the monastery and the brothers with their "liquid bread". We offer up our support and thank them with a 25 cent donation to St. Joseph’s Abbey with every bottle of this heavenly brew. Dark in amber 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.

Hazy dark amber color, medium off white head. Aroma of caramel and light spice. Taste is similar with a hint of fruit. Plain.

Bottle. Over-ripe orange, cardboard, and toffee malt aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Sweet spicy orange malt flavor. Okay.

The first half of this bottle I didn’t like, then I guess it grew on me a little. Hazy brown color, large pitted tan head. Aroma was soft banana and misc fruits. Flavor similar, leading toward a semi-dry cocoa finish that preserved a hint of banana, giving the impression that you might have eaten a chocolate covered banana sometime in the recent past. But then the drying finish got swallowed up by an overly bitter hoppy finish that clashed dramatically. This was the worst part, and the part I adapted to in the 2nd half of the bottle. Soft fluffy palate

22oz bomber poured into my Chimay Trappist Glass. Pours a cloudy light brown with about a finger of thick off-white head. Aroma of sweet and doughy malt with a little banana and caramel with just a little hint of spice. Taste is light sweet and light bitter. Caramel, light spicy hops a little banana. Full bodied with a thick and creamy texture. Lively carbonation and a long bitter finish. Overall, it’s not too bad. Much better than I was expecting from Abita.
