ABBEY MONKS DARK ALE

July 6, 2018Beers A-ZABBEY BREWING, Belgian dark aleJohn Fortunato

Inviting candi-sugared Belgian dark ale elegantly blends brown ale-like pecan-walnut-hazelnut conflux with chocolate-roasted dried fruiting. Spiced plum, raisin and date illusions gain slight alcohol warmth and ashen hop char at silken mocha-fruited finish.

ABBEY MONKS DUBBEL ALE

July 6, 2018Beers A-ZABBEY BREWING, dubbelJohn Fortunato

Delightful easygoing copper-browned Abbey styling stays softer than most richer competition, but to no detriment. Sweet caramel-spiced plum, raisin, dark cherry and red grape illusions preserve molasses bread base as modest cellar funk spreads underlying musk.

ABBEY MONKS WIT ALE

July 6, 2018Beers A-ZABBEY BREWING, witbierJohn Fortunato

Spritzy lemon zest absorbs light Belgian yeast sweetness, withering banana-clove honeying and distant apricot-fig-tangerine conflux above mild sourdough base in ho-hum manner.

ABBEY MONK’S TRIPEL

April 14, 2016Beers A-ZABBEY BREWING, tripelJohn Fortunato

On tap at Blue Grasshopper, warbled honey-fruited 2016-brewed tripel lacks sufficient herbal yeast peppering to mustily contrast temporal sugar-spiced banana daiquiri, lemon meringue, orange marmalade, mint liqueur, candied orange, apricot and fig illusions. Less expressive than most Belgian-brewed Abbey ales, but not drastically so. Image result for ABBEY MONKS TRIPEL

ABBEY MONK’S ALE

April 14, 2016Beers A-ZABBEY BREWING, Belgian pale aleJohn Fortunato

A simple pleasure. Approachable soft-toned Abbey Ale emulating from New Mexico contrasts mild crystal malt creaming, vanilla-spiced honeyed fruiting and dewy sweetness against white-peppered herbal hops. Ancillary caramelized banana, sugarplum, burgundy, apricot and fig notions provide fruity center. Monks' Ale - Abbey Brewing Company (New Mexico) - Untappd
