4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Lots of bubblegum and a bit of clove in the aroma and flavor. Bit of dark fruit as well. Complex. Whole lot going on in this one.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a deep red with a nice white head that sticks around. Aromas of yeast, candi sugars, and some and dare I say bubblegum? Tastes pretty well balanced between the belgian yeast, some malty sweetness and a dry, bready finish. Nothing offensive about this beer, very drinkable.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours deep orange with okay head and good lacing. Smells apricot, spicy, yeasty, and some other orange/red fruits. Taste is where it lets down some - very mild, some yeast and spice, but only smidgens of the fruits represented in the smell. Bready/malty aftertaste. Good, but not great.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle - average sixe foamy head, very dark amber color, malty aroma and flavor with mild Belgian yeast spice
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Aroma is a bit like rootbeer. Amber in color with a nice white head. Slight candi sugar taste which fades to a spiciness of the Belgian yeast.
Notes: Brewery visit during ’09 GABF
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a deep amber, nice frothy head, with nose of Belgian yeast, and cherries. Flavors are pretty dynamite. Rich, creamy malts with bread and fruits. Kind of like jelly toast. Really good!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Clear copper, medium tan head. Aroma of spices, caramel, brown sugar, fruit. Mild sweet flavor. Medium somewhat creamy body, fruit and spice finish. One of the better abbey dubbels i’ve had.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle thanks to Ibrew2or3: Poured a light mahogany color with a slight off white head. Aroma is nice dark fruits. The taste is very dark fruits of raisin and plum, however it finished slightly light.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured a reddish brown color with minimal head, though that may be the fault of my glass. Aroma was an assault of malt and doughy yeast flavors with some fruitiness. Taste was light bitter with a long astringent finish. Really interesting flavor and looking forward to pairing this with food.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Aroma: Rich malt, spices, a slight hint of banana esters.
Appearance: Reddish copper, off white head.
Taste: A nice balance of malt and spice, slightly bitter and dry.
Palate: Medium body with medium high carbonation.
Overall: A nicely balanced dubbel, definitely a goto beer for me.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Delicious Dubbel. Dark amber with a white head and tons of lacing. Brown sugar and banana nose. Effervesscent with a yeasty mid palate and some dates on the finish.
