blipp (1632), Newark, New Jersey, USA Apr 3, 2008 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. BeerEssential (96), Massachusetts, USA Mar 29, 2008 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. craftycarl21 (513), South Hero, Vermont, USA Mar 23, 2008 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. oteyj (716), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA Mar 23, 2008 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. afireinside96 (817), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 23, 2008 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. Storm (2685), Amager, Denmark Mar 22, 2008 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. Bungalo22 (326), Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA Mar 21, 2008 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. pintocb (508), Darsville, Georgia, USA Mar 20, 2008 Dark brown and silky. Khaki head. Faint smell of prunes and bananas. The flavor is very dry with plenty of effervescence. Light bodied for an abbey dubbel.
