12 oz bottle; Well, I had a Greens Endeavour the other day and it was a gluten free Dubbel. If I had to drink Gluten free, I could survive on that. Nose of this is musty, without much fruit, malt or caramel; those three factors are present in miniscule notes; looks good, lightly hazed copper with a big straw head; flavor a bit better than the nose; lightly caramelly, with some fruitiness; better than the nose but not near as good as the Greenes! Not horrible, but not as good as a gluten-free???? And this is supposed to supplant and take market share from craft beers? Since you have your choice of the best ingrediants, show us better results than this!This tastes like a drinkable mediocre beer, but has little resemblance to an abbey dubbel!

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.
