Brewed by Brouwerij ’t IJ
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Amsterdam, Netherlands

Serve in Trappist glass

Bottled(330ml). -Murky amber coloured, medium pale brown head, honey alcoholic nose. Aroma is yeasty and caramelly with notes of lemon, orange and spices. Sweet and slight alcoholic in the finish. A way too thin to be a good Dubbel.

caramel, brown sugar, dark fruit aroma. small head. similar to the struis with a touch more chocolate and not as sweet. good.

Bottle sampled withStegosaurus. Pours brown with a beige head. Aroma of fruit, citrus, and spices. The flavor is fruit, spices, and citrus. Good beer.

Pours a murky dark orange with l’il floaties. Smells a little tart and yeasty (a la Van den Vern). Kind of bready. Tastes slightly sweet but there’s not much else to it. A very unexciting beer.

Bottle. Big tanned head with nice laces. Unclear reddish-brown color. Malty nose. Also slight fruity with notes of yeast. Soft flavors of malts, caramel and dark fruits. Watery palate. Overall a bit thin, and it lacks the required gravity for a dubbel. I miss that special ‘t IJ quality signature on this one…

[Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm] Muddy dark amber, rich head. Evidently yeasty, orangey nose. Mdedium sweet with lively mouthfeel. Soap, yeast and orange dominates, the caramelly malt are barely perceptible underneath th efunky yeast character. A wild and interesting brew!

Bottle sampled with Beerded_one. Pours brown with a decent size beige head. Aroma of fruit, citrus, bread, and spices. The flavor is sweet, fruit, spices, citrus, and yeast. Good body, good brew.

Bottle at Pieter/Charlotte’s leaving party. Nice head, quite brown, another excellent Dubbel. It’s from a small microbrewer in A’dam. A bit sweet and thinner than most Dubbels.
