This Belgian-style Dubbel imparts aromas of dark caramel, fruit and spice with a strong malt presence and a wicked, warming finish.

4.45/5  rDev +12.7%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
On-tap at the brew-pub before a tour of the facility.

Pour: murky mahogany/amber under a finger of khaki head that fades to a skim. One of the better looking dubbels I've seen.

Nose: spicy-metallic malts; nutty, dusty yeast, doughy bread and light fruits in the finish.

Taste: nutty, spicy yeast; banana esters and roasted malt harken images of dunkel-weiss; sweet candi sugar and raisin/clove give a more authentic Belgian feel; booze rounds out the finish.

Feel: fizzy, light but substantial, viscous with ephemeral booze.

Drinkable: a nice, well-rounded "Americanzed" dubbel with plenty of complexity and great drinkability. Not as refined as the real thing, but that's not what Ale Asylum is all about.

Sweet, strong, and a touch of spice.

Beautiful semi dark hue.

A "sipping" beer. One you want to take your time with, and have it last.
