Description:
Meditate on this dark ruby elixir. Breathe in its deep emanations of fruit and spice. Is that clove you smell? Licorice? Fig? Sip serenely as revelations of honey, toffee, chocolate and dark dried fruit delight your senses. Can a beer be holy? you wonder, and Where can I get a grail on-line?
Ommegang, our first brew, was inspired by the centuries-old brewing practices of the Belgian Trappist monks. This burgundian brew gives off a variety of aromas, including plum and cinnamon, and packs in flavors such as caramel, toffee, and licorice. At 8.5% abv, it is known to cause spontaneous meditation.

Best Belgium style beer I've had to date. Very malty, not so hoppy. I think you can taste the flavors more as the beer warms. Definitely like to sip and taste thus before swallowing.

A dark brown-ish ruby colour with a nice head that is dark cream in colour.

A very nice sweet fruity smell to it bringing to mind fresh grapes, peaches, and possibly some light orange.

A semi-filling feel in the mouth, with the carbonation finishing the touch.
