3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice hazy caramel pour into the glass, with a thick ice-cream scoop head that reduces to a 1-finger cap leaving generous soapy lace. The aromas are of sour yeasty dough. Flavors are of lightly burnt malt, yeasty sours, lots of fruity esters and a touch of toasted bitter. The finish closes on a lightly peppered sour note. The palate is medium-bodied with soft carbonation, a lightly silky mouthfeel ensuing. This isn’t the most complex dubbel out there, the most intricate nor even substantive, but it is integrated very well, with a hidden ABV for the style, providing a decently drinkable session-like quaff. Decent, but not top-tier.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Poured a deep hazy brown color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of caramelized sugar with very subtle fruity ester is OK. Taste is overly sweet for style with notes of caramelized sugar and light dry fruits with some notes of fruity ester. Body is quite full with OK carbonation and no apparent alcohol. This one is kind of average for the style but definitely lacking some of the subtlety that makes dubbel such a great style to being with.

Medium body and medium carbonation. Starts sweet with a bit of honey, Belgian yeast, some chalky funk with Beeman’s gum. Mild warming. More like a Belgian ale than a Dubbel.

The flavor was tart and tangy with notes of cherry, molasses, nut and sourdough bread. The finish was long, tangy sour caramel and cherry. A bit off in a doughy way. Medium body. Ok.
