Feb 10, 2002 Lots of different spices here. Nice cloudy brown color, hop kept in check as well as the alcohol. The best Belgian STYLE Double for me to date

Feb 14, 2002 Pours a deep cloudy brown, generous light brown head, and ton’s of lace. Nose is fruity sweet, cinnamon, plums, quite a complex nose. Begins sweet, malty, and that touch of cinnamon in the start, the middle light, the finish is somewhat dry, light hop tones, very interesting and melded flavors that seem to change with each sip. One thing i can tell you a darn good American Abbey Double.Thanks JCA Trust me it’s a shame this brewer is over 2000 miles from Phoenix, unlike Trappist, I hate driving!

Aug 4, 2002 A wonderful bottle conditioned ale. Dark purplish red, except for the last little bit which was clouded with sediment. I normally don’t swirl the large Stoudt’s bottles because,yes, the yeast does seem to make most of the bottle conditioned beers taste the same, especially the double and triple. this was better than the triple, with raisiny, grape, apple, and spicy flavors. Very impressive.

May 14, 2008 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.

Mar 4, 2001 Very cloudy - opaque light brown color, almost
like an extra-cloudy apple cider. No head, with
creamy med carbonation. Aroma is spicy and clovey.
Flavor is mainly sweet, with lots of spicy notes
of clove and yeasty/breadiness. Medium bodied.

Jan 27, 2002 Extremely complex double. Among the flavors I detected were prunes, raisins and cinnamon. Delicious aroma. Probably the best double I’ve had.

Apr 23, 2002 Mahogany coloured. Nutty aroma with notes of camembert cheese. Malty, rather sweet and complex with soft mouthfeel. Nice toffee flavour. A full flavoured, but dangerously drinkable abbey double. Thanks jca_lbi for sending me this and many other excellent beers!!
