Appalachian Abbey Roade

Brewed by Appalachian Brewing Company (PA)
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania USA

At their brewpub in Gettysburg. With the exception of not having a proper glass to evaluate here we go. Arrived in front of me dark golden with a thin white head. Aroma was banana,pear,spice. Taste was excellent, sweet and crisp a hint of yeast to keep brew honest. Malty undertones revealed the complexity to this dubbel. Mouthfeel was full and inviting smooth finishing. A nice foray into the Abbey Dubbel. Would recommend to everyone. Downside to this brew is that it’s only available at their pubs and not bottled.

Had this at the Malvern event. This is a nice abbey dubbel. Good nose of fruit, citrus, and slight yeast. Finishes sweet, malty, and crisp.

Hazy dark honey amber color. Sweet red apple and creamed bananas in the nose, along with honey and pear yeast esters – I would say they nailed the fruit and bread scents with the yeast, and thankfully this is unfiltered. Smooth texture, turning lightly dry on the palate, it finished smooth and creamy with apples, pears and sweet bread flavors. A good Belgian-style dubbel.

Very nice. Mildly cloudy with a thin head. Spicy & banana/citrus flavors throughout.

bit of a sweet aroma. a bit spicy, pretty smooth, medium bodied. i think this is a good dubbel.

Draft at Harrisburg. Pours a hazy amber with an off white head. Aroma of sweet dark fruits and banana bread. The texture is a little thin in the middle for a dubbel, but this is very easy to drink. Flavors of dark wheat malts, raisen, banana, candi sugar, and caramel apples blend nicely. Finish is slightly yeasty. I did find some of the phenols distracting on the finish, but otherwise this is a decent beer. I think this brewer does a respectable job so far when it comes to Belgian beers.

Pours a hazy brown with a tiny white head. Good lacing, however. Very sweet aroma, a little fruity. Biting carbonation reveals a bittersweet body, lots of candi sugar, yeast, dried dark fruit. Oh, its good, as dubbels are a favorite... It has the parts that make up a good dubbel, just not put together correctly. Still, worth finding.

Very interesting banana aroma that was extremely unusual and pleasing. A different sort of taste that mixed the banana w/ citrus and ended w/ a firm bite. Ultimately this was a strange little beer that was actually quie good.
