Bourbon Barrel Abbey Dubbel
Flying Fish Brewing Company

Does not look barrel aged; looks like a plain dubbel. Smells of dried fruits and nondescript hops. Taste is of sour fruits and some malt. Mouthfeel is smooth and crisp but not thick. Can't really pick up on barrel notes, but this is very good nonetheless. Crisp and refreshing, things you typically don't hear about barrel aged beers. Different but extremely tasty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great beer at a low price. Goes down very well. ABV is 7.2, says right on the label, will definitely buy again! I have not found a beer made by Flying Fish that is not right up there with the best of beers. At only $8 a six pack, and a Dubbel Abby, how can you go wrong?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Light on the head and dark in color. It has a nice sparkly feel though it is lightly carbonated. Very light as far as dubbel's go. Reading their label I was expecting something a bit more robust, like a Dogfish Raison D'Etre. But mildness in this type of beer is to be appreciated as one can get overburdened by heaviness in the winter season. As ever, Flying Fish makes their own distinctiveness without hopping up or jazzing up on the alcohol.
