General Lafayette La Tête Fontaine

Poured a hazy maroon color with a small tan head that left nice lacing. Aroma of yeast, dark fruits, and some raspberry. Yeast was strong in the taste, also followed by malt, bitter grapes, melon, plums, some spice and candy sugar. A nice dubbel.

Draft: Poured a dark brown amber with not a lot of head. The aroma was malty and fruity with scents of banana bread and fruit. The flavor was smooth with a warm feeling from the malt and the sweetness on the tongue. Overall, one of the best dubbels I’ve had so far.

Hazy ruby with aromas of fruit, cabernet, bready malt, hops, melon, cherries, berries. Tastes of caramel malt, Brett, candi sugar, figs, berries, and cherries. Complex aroma and taste, and another winner from GLI.

Appears a dark, chestnut color with a small off white head that fades into a small collar. Upon swirling the pint, streaks of lacing stick to the sides. Tiny carbonation bubbles seek their way up to the top. Aromas of one of the Trappist strains. I’m thinking Chimay. Nice plum, yeasty, fruity, cherry with a hint of cocoa and bananas. Taste is equal to the aromas with a nice balance that’s done with a dose of candi sugar. Nothing is overbearing in this beer. It’s subtle and well done. Mouthfeel is slightly prickly at first but smooth on the swallow with a nice fruity, yeast filled banana blast kissing you goodbye as it goes down. What a nice sensation with this brew.

Murky dark brown color with tight, creamy head. Smells of plums and other dark fruits. The taste was rich with dark fruits and nice roasted malts. Smooth and easy drinkin’. Very nice dubbel.
