| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 13, 2009 Deep muddy brown coloured body with a thinnish fast-dying tan head. Aroma of alcohol, pears, apples, yeast, concord grapes and sour lemons - nice! Medium-bodied; Assertive yeast and apple characteristics with a good malt backbone, some alcohol and pit fruity notes of figs and prunes. Aftertaste very pleasant and long-lasting, a good amount of sugars arise, while some mild yeast and malt characteristics round out the flavours. Overall, a pretty good dubbel and without a doubt the best Abita beer I’ve had. Definitely impressed with this from the brewery, get it if you like dubbels, since this is a respectable beer from an American producer. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Half Time in Poughkeepsie, New York on 27-November-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 13-December-2009. Sledutah (110), Utah, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 10, 2009 22oz - Red color with white head. Good lacing. Malt and a nutty flavor, similar to Abita’s Pecan Ale. Overall it reminded me of a bock more than an Abbey ale. Good but wouldn’t repeat. I am happy to see Abita expanding their horizons. dkachur (2416), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
