| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 2, 2007 Updated: May 3, 2008Rated blind from "Better Know a Style: Abbey Dubbel" tasting. Pours a clear red brown with a smooth beige head. Aroma of red fruit, yeasty doughies. More red fruit in the flavor with pears, chocolate, roast and too much alcohol. 7/4/6/3/13 = 3.3
Rerate: I thought fruit and dough played alot better together. The alcohol did not seem to dominate as much as I had previously noted. Maybe it was a bit too warm at the dubbel tasting. 6/4/7/4/14 = 3.6 robinvboyer (1433), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada
