Brewed by Sly Fox Brewhouse
Style: Abbey Dubbel

Serve in Trappist glass

Melanoidin amber body with decent head. Light, breezy, musky clovy smells wafy off the glass. The body itself is defined by a juicy, fruity malt character with a prominent candi malt presence, but a more restrained yeast character that betrays itself with sprinkles of clove.

On tap at McGregor’s in a goblet. Orange highlights in brown, slight haze. Nose is yeasty and fruity. Sour palate, and sugary at times. Mouthfeel is silky and thick. Very very good. Like the esters, like the dubbel-factor, a good copy.

Draft. Muddy brown, thin head. Yeasty candy sugar nose, banana bread, chunky thick belgian yeast though. Flavors concentrate around the bananaish yeast notes...a little acidic around the edges...mouthfeel a bit phlemy...not a fan of the cumbersome yeast strain here...or the phlemy mouth mucous it creates.

A dark red copper ale with a no head. In aroma, sweet candy sugar, fusel alcohol, light roasted meats. In mouth, a rather bland example with cloying sweet malt, a bit thin and lifeless. On tap at MacGregors, July 31 2010.

Draft at Mexican Food Factory with James. Pours deep, hazy brown with no head. Aroma of roasted malts, oats, figs, barley, and slight hints of brown sugar. Medium to full bodied with a smooth, velvety palate. Finishes slowly with a nice little burn. Decent.

Draft at Mexican food factory with pat. Pours a dark reddish brown body with dark haze and some off white lacing. The aroma is sweet and malty. The mouth feel is medium, with notes of earthy malts, sweetness, and German malts.
