Dubbels and Dragons
Lawson's Finest Liquids

This one pours a golden amber brown color, with a foamy head, and a bit of lacing.

This smells like dark fruit, vanilla, honey, caramel, and yeasty spice.

A barrel aged dubbel is not exactly something I would expect Lawson’s to do well, so I’m happy to report that they basically did! The sherry casking was the right move for the base beer – adding some spice, honey, vanilla, and oak to the base. There’s a touch of yeast-derived spice here, some caramel, and a bit of breadiness. You’re certainly going to find better dubbels in the land of dubbels itself, Belgium, but this was a rather solid take on the style.

This is medium bodied, slightly creamy, with a higher level of carbonation that never gets too overwhelming.

I wasn’t really sure how this would translate, but I definitely enjoyed it!
