Commercial Description:
A moderately strong Belgian Abbey-style beer. The traditional yeast strain imparts a complex assortment of spicy phenolic and fruity flavors Hints of clove, plum and raisin permeate this rich, malty and full-bodied beer. And its lofty, tan head sits gracefully atop the seductive, deep mahogany nectar.

7050. Pours an amber brune body with a tan head. Dark fruit, plum and raisins, malty tawny caramel and a light woodiness. Dried fruit and a lush malty warming body. Nice brew.

750 ml bottle that I have had for several years - I’m not sure of the age of the bottle. Pours a crystal clear deep red with a moderate, sudsy off-white head that is initially more reminiscent of the head on a glass of Coca Cola than anything else. The head quickly settles into an incomplete film and leaves a partial coating on the glass. Pleasant aroma of malt and brown sugar. The flavor is malty and a bit richer than the aroma suggests, but with none of the brown sugar sweetness. Fairly smooth with just a hint of alcohol at the very end. One of the better offerings I have had from this brewer.

An ’01 vintage bottle. Vinous. Possibly from its superannuation? Rather sour. But the other flavors poked through.

Very nice authentic Dubbel. Primarily a malty flavor but dubbel fruit tones come make their presence known in the aroma. Sampled at Stoudts 17th Annual Microfest: June 2008

It has a medium/amber color to it with an ok head and ok lacing. It is a very sweet malty smell. Very inviting. It has a very sour/lemony taste to it. Like biting into a lemon.

Bottle courtesy of DocLock -- thanks!

Pours dark cola with a fine head. Nice dried-fruity aroma, cloves, toffee. Spicy, clove-driven flavor, not at all too sweet (though not exactly dry either, just balanced). Easy drinking, and a pleasure to go through 750 mls. This is probably the best American-brewed dubbel that I’ve had to date.

Tap at Stoudt’s Brewing. Pours a deep brown colour with a thick moussey dark brown head. The aroma is quite rich and plummy. Deep rich molassesy character, soft plums with light cherry and chewy malt base. Very softly sweet. Palate is rich and sweet, but not at all cloying. White raisin, cherry, caramel and brown sugar with a light chocolate flavour as well. Very well-balanced dubbel. Soft and chewy with a great balance of the yeast and the malt. Really awesome brew.

Abbey Dubbel is the one style of beer I don’t think the American brewers have been able to pin down. The aroma was average. Dark fruit, spice and wine. Pour was a beautiful deep dark brown with a huge pillowy tan head. Taste was very flat and somewhat weak. Raisin, brown sugar and plum with a very watery aftertaste. Little to no carbonation in this one. Subpar.
