2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
750mL bottle purchased at Nugget (Covell), in Davis, CA. Aroma is kind of vinous, a bit fruity, with some anise present as well as some caramel aromas. The anise seems to be the dominating aroma. Perhaps this is a characteristic of their house yeast? Either way, I am not overly appealed by this. Transparent dark amber/light cola body with a manilla head that is medium and dissipating. Spritzy, carbonated, yeasty esters present to start, with some light anise and a touch of brown sugary sweetness in the middle. Finishes a bit roasted, burnt, and metallic. This is not really what I envision from a dubbel. Pretty mediocre.
