This was a pretty good American German Belgian style Dubbel.
It had the classic Dubbel flavor with an American flair.
There was just something off about it that makes it just good, not great.

Bottle at 40 degrees into a snifter
Aroma none cold or warm
Head small (< 2 cm), off white, fizzy, rapidly diminishing to 2mm ring and broken layer
Body dark amber, chill haze
Flavor as it warms sweet, dates; no hops, no alcohol, no diacetyl; alcohol becomes evident after
Palate full, syrupy, soft carbonation
Appearance 2.75, Aroma 2.75, Flavor 3.5, Palate 3.25, Overall 3.0625. Final weighted score 3.2.
The lack of aroma over a wide range of temperatures is definitely a detriment. Not very complex. An OK example of the style but not the best.

On-tap at Mastracchio's
A - Served with a deep copper body that showed some ruby highlights...the head was white and creamy and stood two fingers tall...it fell to a full cap and left some lacing
S - Rather sweet on the nose...caramel, toffee, brown sugar, raisins, dates, cherries
T - First sip reveals a high sweetness level again with caramel and brown sugar leading the way...the transition into the middle of the beer was subtle and pleasant...the dark fruits take over and really stand out...the dates and raisins can be picked out right away...cherries and plums are more subtle, there's even a hint of grape...some sweetness comes back and joins the fruit for the finish
M - Medium bodied...smooth and creamy...semi-sweet
O - I'm not sure if Stoudts is brewing this again or if this is a vintage keg...either way this Dubbel showed a nice balance of flavor, but one pint was enough for me

Bomber purchased at the brewery.
Pours with a nice head and some sticky lacing.
Color is a gorgeous mahogany brown red.
Taste is fruity and smokey: plums, brown sugar, raisins, clove. Quite sweet and malty. Spicy fruity yeast.
Nice full almost syrupy body. This one is a real smooth drinker. Not my favorite style but clearly a well made brew.
