The Lost Abbey Lost and Found

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber to dark brown in color with excellent clarity and a persistent tan head. The beer displays the rich, inviting hue characteristic of a traditional Abbey Dubbel, suggesting the use of quality dark malts and candi sugars. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, supporting a stable foam collar.

◌ Aroma

Inviting nose reveals layers of dark dried fruit—particularly plum and raisin—mingling with caramel sweetness and subtle spice from Belgian yeast. Bread-like malt character provides earthy foundation notes, while hints of dark cherry add complexity. The bouquet is warm and inviting, true to authentic Trappist tradition.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is rich and full-bodied with a malty foundation balanced by restrained hop bitterness. Dark fruit flavors dominate mid-palate alongside warm caramel and subtle bread notes, while the Belgian yeast contributes distinctive spice and warming alcohol. Sweetness is present but not cloying, allowing complexity to shine through.

◑ Abgang

The finish is smooth and lingering with residual caramel sweetness and gentle spice notes persisting on the palate. Alcohol warmth provides a satisfying conclusion that invites the next sip.

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.
