Pours a very deep murky brown, with red highlights, letting just the littlest bit of light through. Head is thick and frothy, lasting forever. Very nice. Bready, some caramels and raisiny scents. A touch of hops come through on a deep sniff. A complex, but not overpowering aroma. Quite a nice balance through the body... quite similar to the aroma, with the malty bread-like, caramel tastes. A note of hops and darker fruits, with an added spicy alcohol note on the finish. Becomes maybe just a tad sweet on the overall finish, but not too badly. A touch of a medicinal taste in there that seems a little out of place. A nice, full, and round body... a little on the sticky syrup side, but again, not horribly bad at all. This is a good effort... perhaps not quite as spectacular as their others, but still a decent abbey-style ale, nonetheless. For its class, it has quite the competition, but it comes out alright. I’m glad I got 6, and look forward to it again on tap, as well.

From a bottle poured a brown color with a small amount of head. Sweet malty flavorwith a quick finish.

Draft. Pours amber with an off white head. Dark fruity aroma with some spicy yeasty notes. The flavor has dark fruits, toasty and sweet caramel malt, and spicy yeast. Very nice.

Best and smoothest abbey dubbel yet. Nice aroma of raisins and caramel with a smooth mouthfeel and little no no carbonation or high alcohol taste. Can’t wait for another Blue Mountain!

Poured from bottle. Aroma of raisins, molasses, vanilla. Dark mahogany, thin tan head, lacing. Flavors of molasses, rum cake, banana, pepper, brown sugar. Earthy aftertaste with a bit of alcohol. Mellows as it warms. Excellent.

good, but a bit ordinary. Great malty, nutty, slightly fruity characters. I would drink this again

Fruity, herbal aroma. Intense red-brown, clear with a thin head. A little astringent. Woody. The usual musty dubbel flavor with toasted overtones. Well-bittered. Long herbal bitter finish with light diacetyl. OK, drinkable. On tap, Capital Ale House, Richmond.

six pack from whole foods restons. pours a dark cinnamon coated amber with a two finer head.. smells of caramel and yeast coated slight hops. that trademark sweetness lingers in the background. initial hit to to the palate is that of biscuits and light earth tones, a syrupy sweetness with a pinch of bitterness on the aftertaste. very much in line with the an ale of this classification but the complexity is a bit better. I cant put my finger on the flavoring of yeast but its a pleasant surprise. all in all a good ale. and good representation.

Flavor is heavy malt (bread, toast, cookie, caramel, nutty), light hops (earthy), and average esters (apple/pear) with notes of bubble gum, dates, brown/caramelized sugar, and alcohol. Full body, medium warmth, carbonation, and creaminess with a medium sweet and lightly boozy finish.

Light aroma of malt and some Belgian yeast. Nice smooth taste, medium bodied with some more yeast and malt. Nice, but not all that interesting.
