Described as an "Oak Aged Blended Ale", the 12.7oz corked & caged affair - I think from 2017, and found in a random Ohio bottle shop for $16.99 - opens with an almost complete lack of carbonation and with a predictable if still disappointing...
Dark brown pour. Decent thin film, some lace. Nice and malty with a real good dose of spice. The spice is difficult to decipher specifically, but it’s reminiscent of some mace and some cinnamon. With the spice comes some good sweetness, but there’s...
12.7 oz bottle, corked & caged, $13.99. I’ll try anything once, and this price it will only be once! Beer pours with little or no head, no retention and only a thin collar remains. It’s an American Strong Ale all the way through, with a few...
$5.49 for the 12 oz corked and caged affair. Yellow dot-matrix date is obliterated on the neck. Brewed with 'Golden Raisins' (that I think is American for sultanas) and white pepper. Potentially a beer that I am VERY interested in. VERY. Always...
$13.99 for the 12.7 fl oz in the corked & caged bottle. Yes, I said $13.99! As always with The Lost Abbey, I open with a degree of trepidation. The carbonation is always a worry, particularly with anything in this sized bottle, however in this...
I stopped in at Growlers on my arrival on Hilton Head Island, and saw they had this on tap. The guy was busy 'educating' me about, 'how I'd better like sours', before I stopped him in his tracks and bought something else. I was reluctant to pay for...
12.7 fl oz corked and caged bottle. Vintage 2011, dot-matrixed on the neck. Even though this beer is in no way supposed to be highly carbonated, the lack of pop on a corked & caged Port/Lost Abbey beer always has me slightly concerned. The pour...
12.7oz bottle that is really heavy. Very thick glass on this one. Annoyingly hard to remove cork under the cage, eventually meant that I had to extract it with a 'Lazy Fish' corkscrew. Decent pop - at least we have some carbonation! Pour looks as...
22 oz bottle, $7.99 form Smyrna World of Beverage, Smyrna, GA, USA. Bottled on 5/5/11 with an additional dot-matrixed '5212' on the neck in yellow ink. Shock, horror! This is a big, bold, hop-bomb without any excuses or any pretense. In many ways...
375 mL bottle, corked and caged bottle from Mac's, Atlanta, GA, USA. $14 for the privilege. 11.5% on the label. It's flat. 100% flat. Was pretty positive that it would be even before I bought it, but it still needs to be recorded. The beer pours...
750 mL corked & caged bottle courtesy of ClownShoesDreams - thanks Gregg. Small pop on opening, not huge, but nevertheless there is some carbonation - always a slight concern with Lost Abbey. Pour is as expected with a dense, slightly off-white...
Delighted to get to try this one, courtesy of DrDogBeer (Tom) - many thanks. 750 mL bottle, usual Lost Abbey, corked & caged presentation. The opening of the beer is disappointing. A worryingly, uninspired lack of pop - oh, oh, this is Lost...
Notes added 12/12/21 Fresh bottles (Vintage 2021 printed on the back label) sourced from Craftshack. Image is from that batch. Golden pour with a white head. A LOT of apple and cider notes that create a delightful, dry effect. Almost has a touch of...
Pictured at Monk's, Philadelphia, 07/31/24. Pictured below on 09/27/13 Original notes 06/28/09 750 mL, olive green, corked and caged bottle. Very healthy pop with plenty of gun smoke on opening - a "Lost Abbey based" sigh of relief. Beautiful,...
Well, I'm always holding my breath when I crack open a Lost Abbey these days as I wait to see if the carbonation is going to be an issue. Luckily this open opens with a decent pop, not huge but enough to leave me confident that this beer is...
Additional notes 01/25/23 Bottled on 01/05/22 from Bine and Vine (I believe the old South Bay Drugs), San Diego, CA. Almost 14 years on and the pop on opening is still modest, BUT in this case the carbonation is OK - and it should be noted that...
2008 vintage. 750 mL corked & caged. DISCLAIMER: OK, right off the top this *could* be an infected bottle so this review is written in that context. Re-reviews to follow when more data is gathered but for now I want to record my thoughts at...
750 mL corked & caged bottle. Not much pop on opening. Poured into the Duvel tulip (seemed like the most natural glass) it forms a lovely, whipped ice-cream head with nice lace on top of a golden body - very Duvel like! Nose is classical -...
So, I had an "opportunity" to purchase one of these at $53 for the 375 mL! I decided to pass on that which turned out to be a GREAT decision since; (a) the "groovy one" hooked me up in a trade for an equivalent of a fraction of that cost, and (b)...
Additional notes 03/15/13 (pictured) Vintage 2013. A beer that I originally didn't like much, but for me has changed over time - or maybe I have. $4.99 for the 12.7 fl oz bottle with a cork & cage and a nice pop on opening. Head is rocky and...
Additional Notes 03/10 Thanks go out to Penney for the chance to try this one again. From The Foodery in Philadelphia, PA, USA. Perhaps a little less bock character than I remember but still not especially BdG-like. Still a unique beer and to be...
Additional notes 02/21/23 Carbonation a little low as can be the case with Lost Abbey, but just about within style and ABV parameters. Drinkable, and still a light, fruity alcohol experience. It's quite subtle, not in your face at all, and drinks...
750 mL corked & caged affair, many thanks to Lance for the opportunity to share this one. Got together with a few beer lovers at The Brick Store on a Friday afternoon. Pour is essentially black with a nice mocha head. Has a RIS appearance, but...
