Magnolia Deep Elem Dubbel

malty and sweet. nice brown color with big head. bubbly at end. easy to drink.

(10/30/08) Draught sample at the brewpub in San Francisco. Deep reddish-brown color. Aroma of butterscotch, some caramel and light fruitiness. Buttery flavor. Medium-bodied.

On tap at Alembic (San Fran). This dark brown ale poured with a miniscule off-white head. It is very malty and nutty, with a chalkiness that sticks to the tongue and a bitter finish.

Dark red color with good carbonation. Roasty aroma, thickish nut malt, yeasty but thin-to-medium on the whole.

Tap. Brown ale with a slightly sulfury aroma. Smokey nutt malt, not too sweet, a point tart. Good bodied. (June 2004).

i was all excited at tasting my first american attempt at a belgian ale and this is what i ended up with. lots of rotten pear and kero sweetness, sticky and downright unpleasant

Tap@Magnolia Pub and brewery- pretty bad go at a Belgian Dubbel. Belgian yeastyness is there, but its pretty thin and sweet, extracty, tasted half finished.
