Oct 28, 2007 Pours a deep brown with nice white head. Has a pronounced banana aroma and flavor but also bittersweet chocolate, rum and raisins. Has a slight astringent note, maybe due to a roasted malt addition?

Oct 27, 2007 Rated blind from "Better Know a Style: Abbey Dubbel" tasting. Clear, dark amber/ruby red with small off-white head. Plum, dark fruit aroma, alc, medium in strength, nice. Caramel flavor, plum, dark fruit, grape/winey (red apple), banana, mild alc. Medium body, no carb, creamy. Fine enough, though something is off.

Oct 22, 2007 Bottle. Pours bold dark red with beige head. The aroma is malty with raisin and hints of chocolate and some yeasty notes of banana and clove. the flavor has a slight acidic lemon bite at first, then quite a bit of banana and some chocolate. Wood and clove come in the finish, and leave a dry malty aftertaste.

Oct 14, 2007 12oz bottle. color is deep ruby brown. a short lived off-white head forms briefly. sweet yeasty aroma with dark fuity notes and candy sugar being accounted for. clean and sweet with banana and clove notes. crisp full mouthfeel is anything but cloying. a beer with lots of character but not complexity.

Oct 12, 2007 From the bottle, pours a dark reddish with a decent off-white head. Aroma is sweetly malty, a bit fruity--cherries particularly. Quite smooth and malty taste, again a bit fruity and cherry-ey. Not as thick as other dubbels, which makes it rather quaffable.
RSRIZZO (1345), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
Oct 11, 2007 Had this beer on 3/5/1999. Color is a deep rich amber with very good carbonation and a nice head. Aroma is a bit heavy with the scent of malt. Taste is a light roasted malt flavor. Stating with a medium body it goes down sharp. The finish is a mild roasted malt taste with very light bitterness. It’s a very tasty well rounded brew.

Oct 9, 2007 10/09/2007: New Belgium Abbey Belgian Style Ale has a really nice presentation. It is a transparent pecan brown color and has a generous level of carbonation and a foamy lasting head. The sweet aroma contains caramelized malt with some tropical and dark fruits and a touch of alcohol. Caramel malts, some banana and spice, a well-integrated fruitiness, and a hint of peat/smoke blend together to form the complex and satisfying aroma. It has a roasty finish with a touch of hoppy bitterness that lingers. Some alcohol peaks out here and there but adds some character. The body is medium-full and is pretty smooth on the palate. This beer is fairly complex overall and quite good. It definitely exceeded expectations. I haven’t had an Abbey Dubbel for awhile and this one hit the spot.
12 fl. oz. bottle (Alc. 7.0% by Vol. / Best before: 09MAY08 21660 007568 1122) from kyzr. Thanks Mitch! Rating #489 for this beer...
