Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Jul 18, 2007 Draft at the Taproom. Reddish brown, looking more like an American Brown Ale. Light aroma of cooked sugars, relatively smooth at first, but then bites back as it slides down. Still pretty mild for a dubbel, but a good brew. (#3019, 7/14/2007)
mkofron (155), St. Louis, Missouri, USA Jul 13, 2007 Brown with off white head. Sweet aroma, decent body. Lacked expected fruityness. Doesn’t seem to be a real Belgian Dubbel. Drinkable, but disappointing as this style is typically among my favorites. vyvvy (1689), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA Jul 12, 2007 Pours chestnut brown with a light haze and an off-white head. The aroma is overly sweet with caramel, brown sugar and syrup. Medium body with a good bit of crispness and then fairly cloying on the finish. The flavor starts out sweet, but then some astringency and cardboard comes in. The finish has a mix of dryness and syrupiness. Certainly not a true dubbel, but okay if you look at it as a brewpub doing an American version of one. thegreenrooster (1487), St.louis, Missouri, USA Sep 16, 2006 Pour is a brown with a small white head. Aroma is malts and a big dose of alcohol. Flavor is a complete miss. No real candy sugar or fruitness. Some malts show up and again with the alcohol but that’s about it. Their triple is decent..this not so much. rdawson321 (145), USA Apr 20, 2006 Pours a reddish amber. Very subtle flavors in this brew, and a very smooth texture. Slightly sweet with some fruit flavors, maybe apricot and wheat. Fairly good Dubbel; I thought it was better than the Ratebeer rating suggested.
