Pours a hazy dark mahogany color. Complex aroma, difficult to pinpoint, there’s alot of malt, caramel and perhaps some dried fruit. maybe even licorice. Flavours are rich and complex, touches of cherry, red grapes and overripe dark fruits. Finishes with light malt sweetness. A good sweet-tasting drinkable beer.

330 ML Bottle-Trade w/pepsican-Poured dark brown w/some slight mahogany overtones. Kind of a wet grass/hay aroma. Has a lot of carbonation; traces of dark fruit, plums, grass/hay, raisens, toffee, & a little bit of wet leather. Wasn’t as crazy about this one as I was the 10, this one was nore like a brown ale, found it to have a little bit of a stale taste to it, kind of like an old shoe. Just not my bag. Needs some more sweetness/freshness, at least for me.

Draft at Fred’s Rivertown Alehouse. Thick grainy mahogany body with ruby highlights. Thin but bubbly/moussy tan head with dense sheets of lace. Light pitted tree fruit nose. Bit of malty sweetness. Beauitful tingly figgy datey mid-palate on a fairly clean and light body. Light clean finish. Very likable, but not much happening.

2 ounce sample at 99 Bottles, Federal Way, WA. White head. Good lacing. Slightly cloudy body. Dark brown color. Major aromas and flavors include nuts, black pepper, raisin, dark fruits. Primary flavor is the nut. Fairly dry finish that has a long duration. Good.

Pours dark, slightly reddish brown with a pretty loose, quickly dissipating head, though lacing remains for a while. Nose has some alcohol in it and a lot of fruits. Really sweet tasting beer. Brown sugar, some alcohol, cherries noticeable if you look for them. Not too bad, but not great.

On tap at the Schooner’s Brewery/Restaurant in Antioch. It pours dark brown with tan head and nice lacing. It has a big ole malty aroma with caramel malts, mild roasted malts and prune and date fruitiness. There is an aggressive flavor from caramel sweetness mixed with fruity notes of dates and prunes covered with molasses. Yummy.

Rated blind from "Better Know a Style: Abbey Dubbel" tasting. Red brown in color with a beige head. Light aromas of brown sugar, fruit, cherries, and red fruit. Balanced flavors. Caramels, toasted, fruits, and hints of alcohol. Pretty decent.
