Allagash Dubbel Reserve

Pours a dark mahagony color with thin white head. Pleasant aroma of cherries and raspberry. Flavor is similar to aroma with hints of cherry and raspberry but also contains an awful syrupy medicinal robitussin taste that left a nasty after taste.

light copper hue with beige head and a floral amora of spice and sweet malt, this beer is sweet but dry. medium bodied, it is well balanced and relatively complex yet highly drinkable.

750 ml bottle, Batch 66, Pours a light brown with amber edges and an angry off white head. Gobs of sticky lace clung to the glass for dear life. Mouthfeel was medium at best. Flavor was mildly spicey w/ a hint of that Belgian yeast. Mild taste of the dark fruits with just a hint of chocolate. If I ever buy another bottle, I will let it age just to see what happens.

On draft at Teresa’s Next Door, Wayne, PA. Poured brown with off-white head. Notes of sweet chocolate, caramel, and figs. Medium body. Finishes dry.

Sampled at local homebrew club. Dark brown body, ruby edges with compact head. Smooth taste, notes of caramel and chocolate and didn’t really notice the alcohol, fell away on the finish. Drinkable but not totally impressed with this drop.

"Only a decent attempt at a double. There is nothing wrong with the beer, just seems a bit lackluster for a double. This was fairly clean with a bit of maltiness that was accompanied by a hint of fruit and just a tad of the characteristic spicy Belgian notes. I wonder if I got an old bottle, though with a double one would think that it would age well."

bottle. Brown with decdnt head. Some chocolate, tofee, malt. Not much length, a little watery, but good balance. Subtle. OK, but I was hoping for a little more out of this.

750 bottle. Batch 51. Hazy brown with a small head. Very sweet with a light body. I just don’t see the port and sherry here. Very non-descript. Not the best effort-their trippel smokes the dubbel.
