PilsnerPeter (2585), Flushing, New York, USA Jun 22, 2009 Tap at the ACBF 2009: Brown/copper pour with a thick tan head. Sweet aroma with lots of brown sugar and sweet plum along with metallic notes. Average carbonation- sweet flavor with residual candy sugar notes, sweet raisin and fig, honey, and a metallic note. Just another overly sweet American Abbey Dubbel. GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA May 4, 2009 Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear dark orange color with an off white head. Smelled of brown sugar and light buttery caramel. Medium bodied and semi-sweet. I tasted distinct brown sugar, plum, clove, and earthy root. There was also a hint of alcohol and a bit of tart banana. Very nice. zapprentice (309), East Setauket, New York, USA Mar 22, 2009 Sugary notes in aroma are nice. Flavor is powered with sugar that just sits on your tongue. Nothing special, interesting though fredandboboflo (1392), East Setauket, New York, USA Mar 22, 2009 Tap at the brewpub. Aroma of plums, prunes, doughy yeast, and a whole lot of candi sugar. Flavor even more dominated by the sugars. A bit cloying. You get the idea, too much sugar.
