Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is The Lost Abbey Lost & Found
Ale.
From The Lost Abbey website:
“Lost and Found- Modeled after the great Trappist and Monastic beers that
inspired the founding of our brewery. A richly deep garnet colored ale created
from a blend of Domestic and imported malts. As part of our commitment to
interesting brewing endeavors, Chef Vince created a special raisin puree for
this beer. Malts, raisins and a fantastic yeast strain working in harmony
produce a beer of amazing complexity and depth. Available in 750ml bottles and
on draft at select inspired locations.”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours a dark auburn with a creamy off-white head
and nice lacing.
Aroma: Sweet malts, banana, toffee, dark fruits, cinnamon
and caramel.
Taste: Sweet caramel, toffee, raisins, cinnamon and
banana. Belgian yeast and a slight hop
bitterness in the finish.
Overall: Smooth and refreshing, The Lost Abbey’s Lost &
Found Ale is fantastic. At 8% ABV this Dubbel is HIGH on my list. I need to
make some room for this one as I plan on keeping this one on hand and age some
as well. It is THAT good!
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
