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.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a light tan head. The aroma has notes of spices, lots of mango and other fruits, as well as lighter notes of malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of cinnamon, pumpkin, fruits, alcohol, and malt, as well as some notes of yeast, and other spices, leading to a dry spicy finish.

Bottle 65 cl. Pours a clear amber with an of-white head. Aroma of dried fruits and yeast. Solid body, dried fruit and brown sugar with a yeasty edge and a whiff of phenols. Strange spicy edge. No bitterness. Not exactly a grand Dubbel. 231109

Deep translucent red body, medium tight, clumping buff head. Nose of dark fruit, citrus, and a touch of banana and spice. Body with pineapple notes, dark fruits, brown sugar, and spices, in addition to warming alcohol. Pretty good.

Bomber from BevMo Salinas. Nose is caramel, candi sugar, light fruit, and a light smoky note. Clear rusty red with a big, heavily lacing, beige head. Flavor is light sweetness, caramel, a light bitter note, and some alcohol warmth. Decent Dubbel! Better than most of the other Abita’s I’ve had.
