Bottle. Mahogony beer with a light tan head. Big red wine aroma with some backing malt and spice. Red wine flavor with oak, malt, spice, and yeast. Medium body. Lingering red wine and yeast with a bit of other darker malt. Wine barrel notes competely dominate. Nice, but not what I expected.

2006 bottle. This was the second Lost Abbey Ale I tried, after Devotion, and I thought this one more complex and flavorful. Light orange body. Foamy head. Yeasty, musty spice aroma with hints of hay and caramel and a hint of band-aid. The malts and earthiness work well together. The flavor is moderately sweet and moderately bitter/peppery. Lively carbonation feels prickly. Medium body. Bitter finish.

Deep sediment-laden red-brown body, thin tan head. Heavy aroma, with aggressive prune and raisins, sweet breads, toffee, toast, bitter esters, and alcohol. Sweet, thick body, primarily toffee, sweet breads, dark fruits (raisin and prune), and a touch of cola. Almost a plum pudding. Moderate alcohol notes. A bit sweet, but a fine beer.

Murky dark orange-brown body, thin cream head. Toasty, sweet aroma with dark fruits and brown sugar. Sweet, earthy body with burnt caramels, toast, raisin and other dark fruits. Strong anise notes persist and become the salient characteristic of this beer, to my chagrin. Other spices are also present. A bretty tartness is beginning to take hold, but is still rather subtle. Well-made but I can’t get into anise.
