Lots of different spices here. Nice cloudy brown color, hop kept in check as well as the alcohol. The best Belgian STYLE Double for me to date

Pours a deep cloudy brown, generous light brown head, and ton’s of lace. Nose is fruity sweet, cinnamon, plums, quite a complex nose. Begins sweet, malty, and that touch of cinnamon in the start, the middle light, the finish is somewhat dry, light hop tones, very interesting and melded flavors that seem to change with each sip. One thing i can tell you a darn good American Abbey Double.Thanks JCA Trust me it’s a shame this brewer is over 2000 miles from Phoenix, unlike Trappist, I hate driving!

A wonderful bottle conditioned ale. Dark purplish red, except for the last little bit which was clouded with sediment. I normally don’t swirl the large Stoudt’s bottles because,yes, the yeast does seem to make most of the bottle conditioned beers taste the same, especially the double and triple. this was better than the triple, with raisiny, grape, apple, and spicy flavors. Very impressive.

Had this at the kennett brew fest. It had a great dark appearence with a coffee and fruit nose and a quite complicated flavor as well.

Tap at Stoudt’s Brewing. Pours a deep brown colour with a thick moussey dark brown head. The aroma is quite rich and plummy. Deep rich molassesy character, soft plums with light cherry and chewy malt base. Very softly sweet. Palate is rich and sweet, but not at all cloying. White raisin, cherry, caramel and brown sugar with a light chocolate flavour as well. Very well-balanced dubbel. Soft and chewy with a great balance of the yeast and the malt. Really awesome brew.

Extremely complex double. Among the flavors I detected were prunes, raisins and cinnamon. Delicious aroma. Probably the best double I’ve had.

Mahogany coloured. Nutty aroma with notes of camembert cheese. Malty, rather sweet and complex with soft mouthfeel. Nice toffee flavour. A full flavoured, but dangerously drinkable abbey double. Thanks jca_lbi for sending me this and many other excellent beers!!

2004 - 750ml bottle. Tried 2/2007. 3 year old bottle. Pour is a deep plum purple with some wisps and a ring of cream. Aroma is very smooth blend of fruit and cream. Flavor is very well blended and not very oxidized. Fruity, creamy, sweet and rich. Vanilla and oaky. This beer has held up remarkably well and still tastes great. I may not have liked this beer nearly as much when it was fresh, but this is really nice.

This beer rocks! Sparkling clear mohogany brew. Small, fizzy, lightly-tanned head is quickly and fully dissipating. Very complex aroma. Tons of malt and yeast induced notes. Belgian chocolate, candy sugar, prunes, raisins and other dark fruits, toffee, butterscotch, caramel and pistachios. The flavor is of overripe bananas, light sourgham molasses, dark raisins, English toffee, butter and plums up front. Nicely balanced with a lightly tart and barely bitter hop and yeast presence along with a touch of alcohol on the backside. Full-bodied with a buttery mouthfeel and light carbonation. Long, very lightly bitter and pungent finish. Leaves a numb feeling (or lack thereof) on the tongue. I am now officially a big fan of Stoudts Brewing Co. I've enjoyed every beer I've tried from them. This one is no exception. Recommended!

Very cloudy - opaque light brown color, almost like an extra-cloudy apple cider. No head, with creamy med carbonation. Aroma is spicy and clovey. Flavor is mainly sweet, with lots of spicy notes of clove and yeasty/breadiness. Medium bodied.
