Allagash Dubbel Reserve

Brewed by Allagash Brewing Company
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Portland, Maine USA

Bottle @ Cafe Brucke. Nice brown color with an amber tint and average off white head. Wonderful aroma especially as it warms consisting of raisins, plums, brown sugar, and some nuttiness. Flavor to match the aroma with the addition of some alcohol notes with a sweet and sticky body. Was certainly a hit with all of the non-beer drinkers I was with...well done.

Bottle: Pours a dark brown color, with a medium sized tan head. Aroma of spices, flowers, citrus. Medium body, warming, taste of floral, spices, slightly acidic, slightly bitter. Good taste, though not as much flavor as the triple.

Draught at 42nd Street Oyster Bar in Raleigh, NC. Clear brown color without much head. Alcohol and sour bubblegum nose mimicking the true abbey ales. Flavor is dominated by malty brown sugar and hops. Slightly sweet. Very good beer.

had this at a tasting at Bevmo pours a clear, dark brown. It’s a flavorful dubbel, but not as complex as many. Tasty. If you’re trying to introduce someone to belgian dubbels, this is a good candidate

Bottle. Deep brown amber. Smells yeasty. Big head. Extremely smooth and drinkable. cinnamon apple. Tastes like a basic belgian, not too complex, but quality stuff. Re-rate 10/22 (higher rating): sour coriander fruit cake aroma. nice amber with good beige tight-sponge. wine-like lactic. salty fresh (ref) sour

New Years Eve beer, batch number 38 and one hell of a cork to get out....what did they super glue it? Aged approximately 13 months. This beer pours a brownish copper color with a thick viscous tanned head and a moderate bit of lacing. Aroma is banana, wood, yeast and spice with hints of orange peel and did I mention banana? The yeasts were strong in the beginning but generally died out pretty quickly. Malty with banana and orange peel. Hints of caramel, dry and flaky mouthfeel. A tad coardboardy toward the bottom with a few floaties in the final sips. Standard characteristics I’d come to expect from an abbey dubbel, but at least Allagash’s product is quality!

Pours a dark mahogany brown. Hazy with some floaties and a smaller lacing head. Aroma of sweet matls, dark fruits, caramel and wood. Flavor of sweet and roasty matls, caramel, dark fruits. Flavor was a little less sweet than the aroma, even slightly dry.

Bottle. Nose-great sweet classic dubbel nose. Lots of dry malty notes, wood, and spice. Tawny brown body with a perfect dense one finger head. Great balance of sweetness, grape, molasses, wood, malts, and caramel.
