Had on cask at Albany Pump Station on 12/22/12. The C.H. Evans Belgian dubbel is interesting. It poured a nice dark brown with an amber/ruby hue; there is very little head, but that isn’t unexpected because I had it on cask. It was very smooth, again I suspect because of the fact that it was on cask. There are some caramel and dark fruit notes present in the nose, but they’re mainly subdued. The taste is particularly interesting, with the sour cherry elements working fairly well with the malty elements, the dark fruit notes, and the minor hop bitterness. C.H. Evans, as usual, has produced a beer that is interesting, but fairly boring; I enjoy their beers, but I’m not particularly blown away by this one.
