Sep 14, 2008 I had this as part of my pick six at my local shop. It poured a darker, almost red color, with a fluffy head. I think this beer was spot on as far as carbonation, as well as very well balanced. The flavor could have been a bit more pronounced, but overall, I thought this beer was great. Great first impression from Allagash. Cheers!

Sep 5, 2008 This is a nice American version of a double, although definitely not as complex as the Belgians. The flavor is a mix of prunes and figs. Hearty and filling.

Sep 4, 2008 12 oz bottle. Poured clear coppery-iced tea brown with a short, creamy, well-retained cap of beige head. The aroma picked up dry-roasted cocoa and light raisins over dry fruity yeast and a little alcohol warmth deeper down. The flavor was well-balanced with darker fruits, chocolate, and aged caramel at the core paired with some notes of leather and a dark, spicy yeast.. just a few fusel notes on the back detracted a bit. Medium-bodied with emphasis on a nice yeast strain.. almost a sherry feel right at the end (with the fruit and some booze). Tasty brew!

Sep 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown. Aroma of malts and dark fruit. Some alcohol on the nose. Flavor is typical of a dubbel, with some added roasted malt flavor. Good mouthfeel. Decent dubbel.

Aug 29, 2008 330 ml bottle. Dark brown with an orange tint. Almost no head, but a bit of lace. Aroma: rich malt, chocolate and caramel, grains, dark fruit, Rich malty flavor, dry for a dubbel, good roasted action. Belgian yeast, dark fruits. Nice balance. Touch of citrus. A very good, somewhat stout-like dubbel. Well done. Quite complex. Doesn’t have that big yeasty Belgian taste, and probably not really sweet enough. Clean, slightly fruity finish.

Aug 25, 2008 Everything about this beer just seemed weak. Aroma was decent with light citrus coming through. Pour is a basic amber with an off white head. Watery and thin feeling citrus flavor that ended with a sharp bite.

Aug 19, 2008 (Bottle). Fruity aroma. Dark red with small off white head. Flavor is pleasant enough, with fruits and sugar, but nothing special in the Abbey Dubbel category. There are a great many better choices
