Sold in simple and rusty 355mL cans, Abbaye Des Sept Minutes II is a Belgian-style dubbel. At 8%, the beer is a collaboration between Ottawa’s Tooth and Nail and Toronto’s Godspeed. It’s a dull ruby ale with a shock of cream-coloured suds.
Interestingly, AD7M II has an extremely mild aroma—subtle notes of brown sugar and a bit of yeasty tang. The flavour is a bit more boisterous, with notes of raisin, plum, and spice, underscored with a slight metallic jangle.
What AD7M II lacks in aromatics, it makes up for in subtle depth of flavour. This beer has a flavour that seems finely tuned and meticulous. The strength and appearance are perfectly to style, too. I’d have liked a richer bouquet, but otherwise, the beer met and slightly exceeded my expectations.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
