Draft. Pleasant, slightly sugary nose. Pours medium dark brown. Less carbonated than most. Subdued fruity flavors. Clean finish.

4 oz sample at Iron Hill Maple Shade, New Jersey. The pour is a hazed golden copper with a light tan head. The aroma is dark fruit and Belgian candi / brown sugar. The taste is the fruit and Belgian yeast, mixed with a nice lightly roasty malt flavor. The palate is medium bodied, bright active carbonation, the Belgian yeast, plum, raisin and a hint of booze in the finish. Nice Dubbel, the roast gave it a unique character. This and the Black Tie were the class of the session.

Hazy reddish brown with thin off-white head; aroma of rubber; medium smooth body; Flava is sugary yet bitter hints of rubber; finishes dry and hints of soap. In all fairness I had this one after a delish flavorful beer so my palate might be off. I’ve had this before without rating it and I don’t remember it tasting like this.

Slightly hazy deep amber with thin beige head; aroma of peat; Flava of hops plum; finishes long and dryish with grassy notes;

At the Iron Hill Belgium Comes to West Chester event. Brown. Mild fruit background with a bit of roast in the background as well. Moderately sweet. Flavor is fairly light; a bit bland.

At the lancaster pub. First off, taste is much less refined than a real dubbel from the old country. More like an an american wannah be which I guess it is. Does have some manners but it does not hide its alky personality well. TRather strong overall impressions. Quite dark brown in looks. Has a volatile perfumay aroma. Some co2. Yes, need more manners. Needs to go to the old country to learn more about waha dubbel is all about.

Not a lot of aroma from my glass. Pours a light amber with a white head. The flavor is typical of the style. Very refreshing.

On tap at newark brewpub entry that is being sent to gabf, ruby color, good looking beer in tulip, aroma was a bit lacking, but the taste and palate on this were smooth and paired well with food. Just the right sweetness, enjoyable..

Pours a nutty/chocolatey brown with a brownish frothy head. Distinct fruity aroma and initial fruity taste which dissipates to a chocolatey, nutty, flavor. Medium bodied with a slight sugary sweetness to it (real sugar not that fake crap) Check out the full review on my blog at homebrewtime.com/iron-hills-abbey-dubbel

Pours a ruby/amber color with a medium lt tan head. Aroma has figs and spices. Flavor follows suit and adds a bit of underlying chocolate. Mouthfeel is medium/full and silky with a dry spiced/figgy finish that has a touch of bitterness.

Tap at Iron Hill North Wales, PA. Amber brown pour with a nice creamy head. Dark fruit, caramel malt, and yeast. Tasty.
