on THE TAPHANDLE

Abbey Ale, an Abbey Dubbel by Powerhouse Restaurant & Brewery

On tap at Powerhouse Restaurant & Brewery.

Abbey Ale is delivered to my table. The body is honey-orange/light brown in color. The head is almost non-existent. The trace of foam is white. It left good lacing behind though, making the glass look much like Rome's Colosseum toward the end.

The nose is primarily nutty with strong alcohol notes. I kept smelling this over and over again because the aroma was so good. The flavor is nutty, alcohol, golden raisins, honey, and baled hay. It is complex and warming. You need to get one. Now!
