acrdz (4376), Boulder, Colorado, USA Oct 27, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours clear medium dark brown color with a near-white head. Nose and flavors have some sort of plasticy grain quality, along with some vegetal notes and some strange milky yeast. Difficult to describe but honestly this beer doesn’t deserve any effort. It’s pale, thin, empty and pallid. Has nearly nothing going for it.
brianprentiss (397), Mountain View, California, USA Oct 11, 2008 Smells like a cheap beer, and certainly not a double, but if it were classified some other way maybe people wouldn’t be so hard on it...Expectations! But, not a bad beer; I enjoyed it. jcdsmack (46), Henderson, Nevada, USA Sep 25, 2008 Not a bad beer, I wouldn’t classify it as a belgian abbey. More like a special amber ale I guess you could compare it to Fat Tire. Let’s face it it’s 5 1/2 % ABV that’s not a dubbel. For a mass produced ale it’s drinkable. nqualls (422), Tennessee, USA Sep 19, 2008 Bottle. Poured a cloudy amber with a small tan head. Aroma of nutmeg and cinnamon. Flavor reflects the aroma. Decent but not great. donrajin (233), Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, USA Sep 19, 2008 Not a bad beer, but a far cry from a dubbel. Need’s a lot more depth and complexity to be called a dubbel. Again, not bad, but a little thin. KawaBomber (149), New Jersey, USA Aug 4, 2008 12oz Bottle ’07: Clear amber w/ a small off-white head. Some slight candy sugar in the aroma, not much else. Flavor is sweet malts. Nothing exciting here...time to move along.
