Ommegang Abbey Ale

Tried a 750mL bottle of Ommegang Abbey Ale this evening from the Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY.

Stats:
8.5% ABV
Beer Advocate Score: 90
Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale

Pours with a HUGE head with medium bubbles even when I tried a light pour. The head dissipated very slowly into a thin head all across the glass. It adheres nicely to the side of the glass. Make sure to follow the pouring directions givien in the video on the web site. Of course, I don't have the right kind of chalis and I didn't see the video till after I poured. It has a deep red color and the aroma and taste are excellent. Lots of different aromas and tastes are evident. It has a nice carbonation on the tongue. Almost a meal in itself. Its a decent reproduction of a Belgian Ale like a Chimay Red or Rochefort. The Rochefort 8 is still my favorite.
