Belgian Style Ale Batch # 67
7% abv
1pt 9.4oz bottle
$9.00 a bottle
Allagash Brewing
Portland, Maine, USA
My Strength Rating: 4.5
Here is an interesting note: The 750 ml bottle is labeled as Dubbel Reserve and the smaller bottles are labeled as Dubbel Ale.
Appearance: a ruddy brown body with a fine light tan head that leaves a little bit of lacing on the chalice.
Aroma: a light nose of dark dried fruits.
Flavors: Not an overly sweet dubbel. A nice golden raisin and herbal tea like character is the main profile. There is a touch of sweet malts and a touch of bitter hops providing some good balance. I do not see this as a complex ale but, it is tasty all the same.
Mouthfeel: Smooth and pleasing to the palate. Very drinkable.
Recommendation: I think this could be a good introductory Belgian Dubbel.
