Minimal head atop clear dark amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, spicy orange. Taste is much the same, but it seems to be missing something. Medium body.

Oct 7, 2004 Updated: May 17, 20052004 draught (Framingham) To my surprise when I ordered this, they presented a light rosy peach-soft amber colored beer with a small fleeting white head. Hmmm. Aroma was light, fruity (orange, melon, peaches, mangos, tangerines) and had some honey sweetness with apparent light belgian yeast.
Flavor, though not what I think of for an Abbey Dubbel, was very good. Honey, peaches, apricots, fluffy sweet yeast, and lots of bubble gum esters. Hints of a touch of clove and cinnamon, but this is dominated by the lightly fruity, bubblegummy esters. Medium body which didnt thin out.
This one is really just a belgian amber with some light wit bier suggestions. I dont think they tried to brew a dubbel.

Jul 22, 2003 Very watery body, but it tried to get the dubbel spices right. It's too bad. Too malty and sweet for my taste. Dark reddish brown body with a quickly fading head.
