Abbey Ale
22oz bottle into 25oz snifter. Deep mahogany hue with a two finger tan head that slowly settles to a thick even cap, leaving behind a solid wall of lacing. The beer is opaque, but has a ruby glow when held up to the light. An abundance of sugar fruit along with some earthy yeast tones. The yeast also gives off a bit of sharp phenols. Like most Belgian Ales, the yeast does most of the talking. Up front are the spicy and peppery phenols. A little bit of clove is in the background. A hint of creaminess is in the background. This is an excellent Dubbel, on par with the best Belgian ones. Recommended.
