Jun 3, 2005 Pours a deep orange-gold with a pale head. Has a spicey aroma of corriander (similar to that of a Belgian White beer). Nice flowery, fruit flavor. I’ve never had an Abbey Dubbel before. Honestly I wasn’t expecting to find any in NC with the 6%ABV cap on beers. I can’t wait to taste more.

May 16, 2005 On tap at the brewery.
It’s hard to be a dubbel under 6%!
Nice fruity tones, nice appearance in the glass.
The problem is not being able to let these beers go during fermentation (I think).
I like French Broads attempts at recreating the complex Belgian flavors, but they always seem a little watery. When the stupid 6% law gets changed shortly to 15% maybe the brew master can let these mature a little more.

May 12, 2005 draft. Hey for N.C. I think they did a nice job mimicking a belgian dubbel, allthough obviously much is lacking. very fizzy which is reminescent of the style indeed, has the right characteristics. I really enjoyed this beer, very refreshing, clean and nice. I would have it again.

Apr 20, 2005 Updated: Oct 3, 2005On tap. Nice orange color but very thin white head. Floral aroma with a hint of apple. Slightly bitter with a lingering cinnamon taste. Mouthfeel is a little too fizzy for my liking much like all French Broad beers. Very enjoyable local beer.

Nov 13, 2004 On tap at the Flying Saucer in Raleigh. A strange flavor - kind of soapy and rough at first, but I enjoyed it more as I kept drinking. I must say that I’m quite surprised to see that this is a dubbel.. It’s no Allagash Dubbel, but for NC it’ll play.

Nov 7, 2004 Pours like a pale ale. Has a small white head. has a nice summery smell to it and not too bad flavor, but a bit weak.

Nov 1, 2004 Surprisingly Pale Gold, thin white head. Unusual aroma - pine, cinnamon, maybe some other smells lingering under it, as well. Ginger, coriander flavors, too. Ultimatley kind of weak bodied. Interesting, but seems to be a bit lacking. Sampled at 2004 Asheville Brewgrass Festival.
