Beer of the Week: Ommegang Abbey Ale

After our glowing review of Three Philosopher’s Belgian Blend back in July, we were anxious to give another Ommegang Brewery beer a shot.  While 3P set the bar pretty high for the brewery, the Ommegang Abbey Ale did not disappoint.  While we’ve only had two of their beers thus far, this brewery is quickly becoming a personal favorite.  Ommegang’s Abbey Ale is a Belgian-style Abbey Dubbel which poors a dark, coppery brown with plenty of head and thick lace.  The taste itself is rich and malty with slight flavors of cherry and raisin with a subtle, sour finish.  We can’t imagine drinking any more than two of these in one sitting, due their rich, filling flavor and high alcohol percentage (8.5%).  Sip it, enjoy it and tell us what you think!
