Overall similarity

Ommegang Abbey Ale if you want Belgian restraint and dried fruit finesse, The Lost Abbey Lost and Found if you want richer malt sweetness and spice complexity.
Both sit in the 8.3–8.5% range, so alcohol presence is nearly identical—the gap is in philosophy. Ommegang leans Old World and measured; Lost and Found tilts American-made boldness. Three IBUs separate them, but that's noise compared to their malt DNA.

Ommegang Abbey Ale
Ommegang hits you with candied dark fruit—raisins, plum skin—before a yeast snap cuts through. The finish is almost austere, like biting into a dried apricot pit. It's elegant in a way that feels intentional, restrained. You're drinking a beer that knows its heritage and isn't trying to prove anything.
The Lost Abbey Lost and Found
Lost and Found arrives heavier, with molasses and brown sugar upfront, then fennel and black pepper kick in mid-palate. There's a warmth that feels almost spiced-cake-like. The sweetness lingers longer than Ommegang's, which some will love and others will find a touch cloying by the third sip.
