Commercial Description:
This Belgian-style Abbey Dubbel is an exceptionally complex beer with many interwoven flavors. This classic-style Abbey beer features an immense head with a fruity nose and a generous body. Malty in the middle, the beer features a clean, almondy dry finish and a slight alcohol warmth. More like a wine than a beer—it has a lot of the qualities of a fine Burgundy. The beer is bottle-conditioned.

Bottle. Snifter. Clear brown with little head. The malt is very sweet and could use more roasted malts to balance. Unfortunately it also comes with some off flavors.

I thought this was a great effort. It pours a gorgeous brown color. It has a fantastic texture and the beer becomes quite complex. Do try this one and judge.

Aroma is vineous and belgian-yeasty with a brown sugary apple-ish berry background. Flavor is vineous with toasted malts and belgian yeastiness plus apple-like notes. Very pleasant but short lived mouthfeel. Good value @ 6.99/6pk.

12 oz Bottle @ coles, buffalo, NY. Winey taste & aroma. Nothing really special here. Simply average

Reddish copper pour with a light rose colored head. Aroma is sweet with hints of various fruits - grape, apple, perhaps a cranberry in there? Taste has a fair bit of yeast mixed with some malty-fruit flavors that are rather pleasant. Nothing exceptional, but a solid overall brew from Flying Fish.

It’s a decent Belgian style brew. Not too heavy either. It’s not too bad for a local (for me) beer

Pours copper with a dark beige head. The aroma has Belgium yeastiness, sharp dark fruits, light plasticness and some earthiness. Medium / thick body with lots of carbonation that starts off soft and end sharp. The taste starts sharp and earthy, yet there is a bit of a mustyness about it - kind of like a weird muddled fruitiness. The finish is dirty, earthy and woody. However, as it warms it gets much cleaner and begins tasting more like an authentic Belgium beer than most American micros trying to do the style. An intersting beer and probably the best I’ve had from the brewery.

12 oz bottle via adrian910ss (thanks!). Pours a semi clear dark reddish brown with a medium/large beige head. Nose is malty with fruity esters and some yeast. Some plums and strawberries. Taste is the same with some halzenut flavor as well. Medium body. High carbonation. Easy to drink. An above average brew.
