Perhaps one of the worst dubbels I’ve had. It has a dirty aftertaste and not a lot of depth. Nothing interesting here.

Pours a beautiful clear amber color with offwhite fizzy head. Aroma is sweet malt corn scent with slight yeasty spice. Flavor is sweet caramel bit of fruitiness and light and watery. Overall not bad from coors.

Nice amber body, and a pretty decent head, but my attraction to this beer ends there. OK, the carbonation isn’t bad, but that’s about it. The aroma and flavor is too laden with metallic notes for me, and that makes the whole experience rather awful. Maybe I just don’t understand what an Abbey Dubbel is supposed to taste like. So if this is actually a good example of the style, then I must say I don’t like them.

12 oz bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville, FL. Aroma is spiced and a bit of malt. Pours a nice dark copper orange color with a thin head. Taste is slightly sweet, but I don’t pick up anything from this other than the usual run of the mill winter ales made by big breweries. Bleah.

poured into a glass. has a medium rich roasty flavor. has an orange-red color to it. with a light bitter taste, can’t really taste the dark belgian sugar. would say this is a medium body beer. with a dry mouth finish. overall its an ok winter ale. but Great Lakes Christmas Ale takes the gold.

Poured from bottle. Nice aroma of roasty malt and spice. Color is the same color as the bottle. Malt prevails in the flavor, oak and pepper notes as well. Not enough of the Belgian sugar they advertise. Weak, watery feel. Finish was OK. Not bad, but needs some work.

Dark clear amber pour, big white head. Aroma is sugary bready. Taste is buttery, nasty candi sugars, a gross caramel cloying sweetness. Thin watery body, low carbonation and this is just the weakest attempt at a belgian style ever. Gross and it’s giving me a headache.
