Bomber. Rich auburn, big soapy head that disappears pretty quickly. Smells of rich, toasty malts, plums, and caramel. Really appealing nose. The taste wasn’t what I was hoping for after the start, though. Comes on with a nice thick plum/raisin taste up front but doesn’t hold the complexity for long. Finishes sharply, but not overly strongly or really that great. Good, drinkable, but not outstanding.

Bottle. Pours deep amber with a beige head. Sweet aroma with notes of caramel, melon, and yeast. Medium body. Flavor is again sweet fruit with notes of caramel, honeydew, and yeast. Maybe a light note of spice as well. Pretty good.

Smells yeasty and slightly chocolatey and coffee-life. Colour is a deep, almost opaque reddish-brown with a creamy head. Taste is not very carbonated, malty with a bit of a bitter aftertaste. Nice lacing, though.

very boisterous head, beautiful frothiness. dissipated slowly. citrusy aroma, with hops and yeast in background. dark plum in coloration- extremely nice looking beer after pour. flavor had citrus, yeast, dark fruit, and malt- extremely smooth mouthfeel, quite tasty overall.

Pours dark hazy copper with huge lasting head that leaves incredible lacing. Aroma of yeast and citrus. Well balanced flavors, with yeast, citrus, and dark fruit prevalent. Tastey.

750 ml bottle, caged and corked from batch #66. poured a deep amber color with a thin tan head into a snifter. aroma of dried fruits, caramel, and a bit of nuts. sweet caramel flavor, very nutty. dry nutty finish with a bit of alcohol warmth just like the commercial description. feels a bit prickly. quite enjoyable.

Bottle Batch #60. Reddish amber colour with a huge head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel and little toffee-like. Flavour of roastedness, caramel and very watery. Ends up light bitter. Very dull for a dubbel.

Pour a dark brown with a big head - you should pour very, very slowly. Nice aroma with a bit of nut and dry fruit coming through. The taste was quite satisfying and I was very impressed by Allagash’s effort. A little light in body. Better as it warmed a little as the full flavor and aroma really came out. Again, I was very impressed with this effort. The flavor was a bit nutty and carmel like. Not quite a Belgian Dubbell but a decent American version.
