Notes:
Great lengths were taken to ensure its authentic characteristics. German and Belgian malts, noble hops and a unique yeast strain are all necessary to produce this unique ale. It is aged for one month; beer that tends to please red wine drinkers and is definitely not for the novice beer drinker.

I love the way this beer looks. Pours dark brick read with a half inch of fine off-white foam. The smell is pleasant; floral and slightly sour. The taste leaves something to be desired; surprisingly sour with a decent, funky malt finish. Not much to say about the mouthfeel- not creamy, but not entirely unpleasant. I certainly didn't hate this brew, but I'm not sure I would buy it in a bottle again. Definitely need to try this on tap next time I have a chance.

Reddish brown in color, with a modest white head. Slight haze. Restrained smell...a bit of yeast and malt. The taste is a bit drier than expected...acidic and hop forward for the style. Still, a drinkable and enjoyable brew.

A bit of lingering toffee and caramel. Big fan of this dubbel.

For the price, a great dubbel. The finish is odd, almost too bitter, but the IBU is only 23, so perhaps the flavor I'm getting is something else.
