Bottle. Aroma of malt straw and metal. Light brown pour. Taste of cardboard metal and caramel. Light finish. Typical large scale attempt at craft brewing.

12 oz bottle-pours a foamy to rocky light tan head that laces and copper/orange color. Aroma is medium malt-caramel, at first pour a hint of spice, some bready. Taste is medium malt-caramel, some bready, secondary earthy(English)/spicy hops. Light side of medium body. OK carbonation.

Pours a brownish yellow color. Aroma of sugar, and almost a bit of vomit. Taste of sweet malts and water. Blah.

Bottle. Pours a golden copper color w/ a large head. Decent aroma, I prefer more robust Holiday Beers. Really was expecting more from the Blue Moon folks.

Abbey Dubbel? Really? Strikes me as more of an Amber.

Pours copper. Slightly roasted taste with a bit of that caramel/amber flavor. Nothing in the aroma. Meh, about on the level as Blue Moon I guess.

Cola coloured copper hue with a large soapy tan head and tons of bubbles reminiscent of vernor’s soda. Aroma of ginger, nuts, malt and a horrible amount of metal and blood - nothing too pleasant here. Light-bodied; Horribly fake sugars dash the taste with caramel and some gross prunes tucked into the metal and malt that are most prominent. Aftertaste shows metal and nuts, but mostly a disgusting fruit flavour along with strong alcohol. Overall, a pretty bad beer and not even CLOSE to a belgie dubbel. I had my doubts about this one and I was definitely right - this isn’t worth ANYONE trying. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 10-February-2008.

Has a flavor that rates just slightly above tap water. Boring beer with a pale color. Forgettable and unimpressive all around. Avoid if possible.

A 12 0z bottle. This is a fairly good beer with a amber color body with a creamy head. The taste is a candy nut taste with malt. A nice Holiday beer. Good carbonation and lacing. Keg!
