beer_name: White Birch Dubbel
text: I've been on a Belgian kick as of late. Large, vivacious beige head settles in to a tiny bubble blanket atop my beer. In my Allagash glass as the color ascends from yellow to amber to ruby red to burgundy. Beautiful color. Bill nailed the appearance. Aroma is faint. Really faint actually. Plum, candi sugar, anis, wet earth and a floral hop reminiscent of lavender. Taste mirrors the aroma with earthen plum and black cherry standing out. As faint as the aroma is, the taste is even more subtle. This beer is...too perfect? No flaws jump out at me but nothing special comes out either. If this was in a contest you could check off every requirement and it would probably win in a BJCP competition. It's standard? Kinda boring.
