Colts Abbey

Colts Abbey is our @worldbeercup and @greatamericanbeerfestival award winning, Belgian-style, dark, strong ale.

Although not brewed by monks in a monastery, Colts Abbey has a special place in our hearts and reminds us of the Trappist beers of Belgium that inspired us when we were just starting out on our personal beer journeys.

Despite its strength, Colts Abbey is remarkably drinkable and boasts a wide variety of wonderful aromas and flavors.

It pours a deep copper hue into a glass and quickly develops an off white head of beautiful foam. As you sip and the beer begins to warm, you will notice aromas and flavors opening up and developing even further.

A complex interplay of specialty malts, amber candi sugar, and expressive, fruity/spicy Belgian yeast at first give an impression of sweetness that fades and is replaced by a dry and effervescent finish.

After primary fermentation, this high gravity brew spent extended time cold conditioning to round out all the edges and allow all the nuanced flavors and aromas to meld together.

Colts Abbey was packaged with fresh yeast and priming sugar to undergo secondary fermentation right in the bottle, lending additional complexity and scavenging packaged oxygen in the process, prolonging its lifetime. Show Less
