Can 1 pint. Pours a clear, dark amber with a slightly off-white head. Light tartness in the nose, overripe fruit. Lightish body, sweet'n'sour sensation, brown sugar, Brett and wood. Dry. Very clean and quenching. Well made. 121017

Tap. The Archives, Burlington, VT. Hazy, bronze tinged, ruby red. No head. Nose has ripe cherry. Ripe raspberry. Balsamic vinegar. Some woody notes. Some soft vanilla. Some toffee. Taste is mostly tart and woody, with some ripe fruit sweetness. Some acidity on the palate. Tartness on the finish dries out by the close.

Dark violet-tinged mahogany with low clarity and a dark beige head that quickly runs to the edges.
Bright dark fruits are quite tart and vigorous in the nose, adding grape, prune, berry and other such characteristics. Some earthiness behind it and a touch of toffee on the end provide a bit of balance while no alcohol or flaw is noted.
Heavy vinousness in the flavor, with prunes, figs and heavily tart/sour lactic notes. The carbonation is quite engaging, however, and there’s a light toffee-like sweetness which prevent the sourness from running away with this one. Though it’s still quite puckering and heavily fruity. Interesting. Maybe tone down the sourness, but it certainly adds a fun element to the otherwise pedestrian abbey dubbel.

A murky dark amber ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, beautiful sweet fruity caramel malt with light Brett, light cork, nice funky character, well done. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity caramel malt with loads of lactic acid, light corky, raspy, interesting. On tap at Farmhouse tap and Grill.
