Smooth malt Flavors of this Belgian-style abbey ale are complimented by traditional imported ingredients. A slightly spicy and complex flavor makes this European celebration-style beer unique and refreshing.

Bottle courtesy of Jdoolin: Poured a copper color ale with a medium size white foamy head with limited retention and some light lacing. Aroma of sweet sugary malt is dominating with some subtle hints of spices. Taste is mostly dominated by some very sweet malt and some light spices. No hops were discernable and no yeast characteristics that I usually like to find in BSA. Body was slightly light for the style and alcohol was not discernable. I thought this was way too filtered and lacking in spices or yeast characteristics to be truly enjoyable. Re-rate 2011: I obtained this in a trade and forgot I had it before. 2007 bottle drank in 2011. More balanced sweetness and nice fruity ester with great notes such as apricot. This is going from a 2.8 to a 3.7.

Pour is a copper with a small white head. Aroma is some brown sugar with some molasses and alcohol in there. Flavor is lots of candi sugar with touches of strong caramel malts and some dark fruits. I guess this is a Gulden Draak clone. If they were going for that i guess this is spot on except the alcohol does not get in the way like Draak does.
