JoeMcPhee (3815), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Dec 13, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pale golden beer with a white head. Aroma is malty and lightly spicy. Some soft cinnamon and toasted malts. A light chocolate character despite the pale appearance. Fairly industrial malts with a bit of clove/nutmeg and spice. Toasty and sweet. A bit of honey. Not bad, but not good either.
brianprentiss (397), Mountain View, California, USA Oct 11, 2008 Smells like a cheap beer, and certainly not a double, but if it were classified some other way maybe people wouldn’t be so hard on it...Expectations! But, not a bad beer; I enjoyed it. jcdsmack (46), Henderson, Nevada, USA Sep 25, 2008 Not a bad beer, I wouldn’t classify it as a belgian abbey. More like a special amber ale I guess you could compare it to Fat Tire. Let’s face it it’s 5 1/2 % ABV that’s not a dubbel. For a mass produced ale it’s drinkable. nqualls (422), Tennessee, USA Sep 19, 2008 Bottle. Poured a cloudy amber with a small tan head. Aroma of nutmeg and cinnamon. Flavor reflects the aroma. Decent but not great. donrajin (233), Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, USA Sep 19, 2008 Not a bad beer, but a far cry from a dubbel. Need’s a lot more depth and complexity to be called a dubbel. Again, not bad, but a little thin. KawaBomber (149), New Jersey, USA Aug 4, 2008 12oz Bottle ’07: Clear amber w/ a small off-white head. Some slight candy sugar in the aroma, not much else. Flavor is sweet malts. Nothing exciting here...time to move along.
