Abadía

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber to chestnut brown with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head. The color reflects significant caramelization in the malt bill, while the foam displays good retention and lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted caramel and honeyed sweetness, followed by distinct notes of dried dark fruits—raisins and plums—alongside subtle pastry and bread crust aromas. The Belgian yeast character is evident, contributing a gentle spice and fermentation complexity without dominating the profile.

◐ Geschmack

A malty, full-bodied palate opens with pronounced caramel sweetness and dark fruit flavors that persist through the mid-palate. Subtle yeast-derived esters add depth, while moderate bitterness (22 IBU) provides restraint and balance, allowing the malt character to remain central.

◑ Abgang

The finish is smooth and warming, with lingering caramel and a faint yeasty dryness. The alcohol presence (6.8%) supports a gentle warmth that extends the experience without harshness.

Serviertemperatur 10–12°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

Das breite Mundstück und der schwere Fuß fördern die Schaumbildung und leiten reiche Aromatik zur Nase. Traditionell für belgische Starkbiere.
