Jun 8, 2007 Pours a ruddy brown color with a thin off-white head at the edges of the glass. Looks well-carbonated. Belgian yeast aroma with a pit fruit character. The carbonation plays well on the palate. Taste is moderately sweet, with some caramel and spice notes present. A good dubbel.

Jun 7, 2007 750ml. Pours dark ruby with a tiny but well sustained white head. Aroma is very sweet, syrupy, dark fruits, but in a good way. Raisins. Smells like a lighter version of a Bernardus 12 or a Rochefort 10. Or maybe that’s just the raisins. Tastes the same as the aroma. Yeah, this is pretty good.

Jun 7, 2007 Bottle from a case that was reportedly flat, but I managed to achieve carbonation with some TLC in my cellar. Amber-brown body with a medium, fading beige head. Sweet, peanutty malt aroma with cocoa and cooked banana notes. Evident caramelization in the flavor, plus an aspect of rubber tire. Warms nicely though. Develops into an understated, pleasing sipper. Good American Abbey Dubbel overall.

Jun 7, 2007 750 ml bottle shared by grant. Thanks. Metallic, sweet, fruity, peaty aromas present. I detect some brown sugar/molasses as well. Mildly hazy dark amber/garnet body with a small, delicate yellow-tan head. Rather attractive. Malty sweet start, becoming vinous, chewy, fruity, with some molasses-like flavors. Nice bubbly, spritzy carbonation in the middle. Finishes roasted and chewy. I’m a big fan of this stuff.

Jun 5, 2007 Brown coloured with a bit of a tan head. Very carbonated but thin mouthfeel. Chocolatey flavours and a bit of sour in there as well.

Jun 3, 2007 Rich date-like flavor. The palate is very thin for the style and is not great. Also, there is something just a tiny bit off on the finish, like an in-harmonious bitterness.

Jun 2, 2007 Bottle. Aroma of sweet malt, belgian yeast, spices, bubblegum, and brown sugar. Flavor is similar, dominated by the malt and spices. Decent dubbel.

May 30, 2007 Updated: Aug 28, 2007Dark amber/brownish color. Very smooth with flavors of figs, raisins, caramel, cherries, and other items contributing to this very sweet ale. I would have preferred a little more balance in the sweet department, but I think that is what they were going for anyway. Does not compare to the trappist beers it was trying to imitate.
