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.

Bouteille-Arôme de caramel et de houblon, liquide brun très foncé avec subtile nuance pâle. Caramel est le goût avec un petit quelque chose de noix.--Bottle-Caramel aroma with some hops. Brown liquid very dark with subtil pale light. Taste of caramel with a little something of nuts.

A nice, hardy beer. Very caramelly from the malts, but without that sourness I feel like I’m used to. Nice and dry for an abbey style, a green nuttiness that hides under the flavors but complements them nicely. Lots of carbonation, but in small bubbles.
