Feb 1, 2007 Original release sampled in May 2006: Dark mahogany brown pour has a frothy, nicely-lacing white head. Lightly semi-sweet dark caramel malty aroma has a touch of Belgian yeastiness. Body starts with a sugary sweet maltiness, a touch of dark fruity complexity, but a little thin in body. Perhaps underattenuated and slightly cloying in the dark caramel malty finish. Glad to see Sweetwater trying some new styles, even if this one is a little off.

May 14, 2006 Updated: May 17, 2006Draft @ Taco Mac Decatur: Deep ruby color with a small creamy creamed color head. Very sweet and fruity aroma. Mostly of cranberry and grapes. Like the can shaped jellied cranberry sauce. It also reminded me of fruit juice. The flavor starts out fairly sweet but dries out quickly. It starts with grapes and fruits. It has a big resemblance of Manischewitz wine. Chocolate came through next with prunes at the end. Light bitter finish and light warming sensation. Medium bodied.
05/17/06:Had again tonight at the brewery tour. Pretty much same as before but it seemed dryer at the front and a little less fruity. Score stays the same.

May 26, 2006 This Abby Double poured a medium brown color from a growler. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is malty and sweet, caramel and toffee. A full to medium bodied double. Malts are fruity, caramel and sweet. Touch of brown sugar and molasses. Hops are earthy and slightly floral. Smoothly sweet and fruity, extremely drinkable. Nice session beer, one could sip this one all evening. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

May 22, 2006 On tap at the Mellow Mushroom in downtown Athens, Ga. Dark copper pour, snow white - medium thick, head. Aroma of a fresh produce cart on a city street market - quite fresh. Flavor has some candied sugar notes, watermelon, root beer and some citrusy undertones. Alcohol makes its presence known. Clean, even mouthfeel. Overall, decent and nice to see Sweetwater branching out more.

May 22, 2006 I’m not sure I’d notice this one was a dubbel, I thought it came across as a slightly heavier brown. Reddish brown, with a beige head. Nice toasty, caramelly aroma. Notes of caramel in the flavor at first, with some hints of chocolate, too. But then nothing else much happens. Its kinda like the beer looses interest in itself. Sampled at Noogfest2.

Nov 2, 2006 Draft. Looks like a dubbel. Dark brown. no head though. Malt flavor is immediate. Slight bitterness, but you’re lokking for it. medium bodied. definite warming effect. That’s it.
