Arbor Brewing Phat Abbot Dubbel: Beer Review

Trappist-style ale
10% abv

IBU: 28

The aroma is very interesting, in a good way, sweet and fruity but I could not come up with anything specific. The alcohol spice definitely hits the nose.

On their web site they call the color opaque pale yellow. To me it looks like a cola with pale yellow edges. This beer is not very appetizing in appearance. The head is maybe a ½ finger with no lacing left on the glass. The carbonation is zippo.

The flavors speak of spicy and sweet tropical fruits. The sweet mango-pineapple is candy sweet. The spice has to be coming from the high abv content. With that 10% abv it comes across boozy like. There are some dark fruits, raisins, dates and fig, mixing into the flavor profile.
