Boasting a deep red color and a complex malty taste, the dübbel will finish sweeter with subtle hints of raisin, caramel and apricot.

I assume this is the only dubbel they have made and that I had the one I am reviewing. Smell is on point with a nice Belgian character, banana, clove up front and the flavor is dark fruit, plum-ish. Moderately sweet which is the only somewhat negative I can say about this beer.

There was nothing about this beer that resembles a true belgo dubbel.
Hazy and unfiltered with a thick, splotchy, loosely carbonated head. This beer appears a bit lighter in color than the style calls for
No esters present
Light in body and flavor with nothing indicating a Belgian, let alone a beer above 6%.
Underwhelming
Undercarbonated. Too light. Nothing redeeming about this.
Back to the drawing board. At least they had Rip Van Winkle on the shelves. Might rope some suckers into spending money here. Otherwise, I hope the food is awesome.

Appearance: a wooden brown color with perfect clarity. No head or lacing to speak of. Looks too light and off
Smell: weak. No yeast character. I mainly get dark candi sugar
Taste: opens up with a light dark candi sugar and progresses into a grassy almost light lagerish taste. No yeast character or dark fruit. Also watery
Mouthfeel: light and dull
Overall: I usually try to find good things but this was just impossible to do here. Too light, and I wander what yeast they used because it was nonexistent.
