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.

Pour is a dark brown with a large tan head. Aroma is nice with lots of candi sugar, sweet dark fruit and a spice. Flavor is about the same just a little less noticable. Dark sugar is there plenty and leaves a sweetness on the tounge. Still i can’t really knock this as its a worthy effort.

22oz bomber. Deep red brown color with a foamy head. The aroma is sweet with a lots of choco-toffee nuances, and really little trace of alcohol, pretty nice in a weird way. Creamy and yeasty, there is an odd sour edge to this beer, an effect of the yeast no doubt. Smooth upfront, but a harsh burning sweet alcohol finish. Sort of your lowbrow would-be Belgian Dubbel, the kind that guy who yells at you in the back streets of east Brussels prefers...or that drunk dude in New Orleans as it were. Easy to drink due to it’s creamy mouthfeel, but other than that it’s hard to think of much positive to say. Sub par.

Courtesy of kiefdog. Pours clear copper with amber core and nice tan head. The aroma is apple, a bit of cinnamon, a bit of cabbage, spice and Belgian candi sugar. The taste seems bright with fruitiness like apples and sweet ripe cherries to go along with yeasty spice and coriander. Seems a bit bright and disjointed.

Bottle from BevMo. Dark orange copper color with a multifinger, fine beige head. Aromas of yeast, spice and roasted caramel. Medium plus body with coarse carbonation. Flavor is malty, clove spicey and a bit veggie/herby. Though not exactly dry, it is somewhat astringent. Finishes dryish, with malt hanging around, and seems a bit mapley or dark fruity. The funniest part, I think there is funk turning up after awhile. Maybe it’s some kind of herb. Overall though it’s decently tasty and complicated.

22oz Bomber thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a pretty, off-white head over a hazy amber body. Aroma of candi sugar, plums, prunes, apples and alcohol. Taste is brandy, alcohol, baked pear, spice and yeast. Light bubbles, water like mouthfeel. By far the best Abita product I have had.

Bomber. Pours a clear amber colr with a frothy light tan head and a lot of bubbles. Good sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is a strong dark fruit malt with clove and yeast. The taste is a dark fruit with brown sugar malt and a lingering finish. A good Abbey Dubbel from Abita.

Murky deep amber color that easily puts up a frothy off-white head that falls to a persistent foam scum. Makes a quickly falling lace on the glass. Fruity with thin malt aroma. The flavor is a mix of sweetness and a touch of sour bitterness. Somewhat strange, and hard to describe.
