Nov 2, 2007 Rating #750 Rated blind from "Better Know a Style: Abbey Dubbel" tasting. Thanks to andrew for bringing this one. Pours a dark brown with a tan smooth head. Layered aromas of chocolate, fruit, toffee, and plum. Rich flavors of chocolate, toffee, fruity, roasted, alcohol, licorice are all balanced and blend really well. This is definitely one of the two best of the night.

Oct 23, 2007 This is a double? No freakin’ way. Shared by Sliffy at C-bus 9. Aroma of dark fruits, brown sugar, some soy sauce and bananas. Brown body with a medium head. The palate is nice and full and creamy--really superb. Taste is mostly strong malts, belgian spices and yeast, raisins, and brown sugar. Really wonderful mix of flavors. Great beer.

Oct 14, 2007 Updated: Nov 13, 2007Shared by Sliffy...Thanks Dan! Easily the best dubbel I have ever had. Poured a dark brown with a off white head. Lots of sugars, fruits, and breadiness or yeast in the aroma. Lots of the same in the flavors but some caramel and molasses syrups start to show up in the taste as well. There is also a nice contribution in the flavors by the abundance of belgian yeast and breadiness/nutiness. Really top notch dubbel, and a style I am not very fond of...but if I can find more of this same caliber I think I will really start to enjoy this style much more.

Oct 14, 2007 Bottle shared at Cbus tasting number nine by Sliffy. Pured a very dark brown/amber color. Smelled like figs and molasses. Taste was sweet molases, figs, raisins, and a nice thick bread taste. This was delightful and one of my favorites of the evening.
