Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

A black appearance with a bubbly white head. Some licorice, chocolate, and mint in the aroma. The flavor really shows the alcohol coming through. This beer bends itself rather sweet with chocolate, raisins, licorice, and mint. Overall a nice but quite different beer.

10 Affligem Dubbel Belgium Abbey Dubbel 4.5

Aroma: 10 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 9 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 9

This is an excellent Abbey Dubbel and may even my best yet. Aroma is chocolate and caramel. Appearance looks about like every other Dubbel Ive had, brownish/red. Flavor is chocolate, caramel, apples, oranges, complex for this style! The balance is perfect as the malt does not dominate. Palate is smooth with no evidence of the 7%. Overall its simple and to the point, no frills, but excellent all the same.

Dark brown color similar to a brown ale. Excellent belgain. Very malty flavor but enough hops are present. This is a beer I have been overlooking for a while but Im glad I finally gave it a try. Not as complex as many, but certainly as good

12 Rocky River Winterfest Ale United States Abbey Dubbel 3.7

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 8

Strangely enough the Mellow Mushroom in Chattanooga, TN still has 5 of this now defunct brewery's beers on tap. I had the rare chance to sample this years seasonal winter beer. Appearance is a reddish brown. Flavor is very spicy with some dark fruit and nutmeg present in the flavor. The finish is very sweet with a slight bitterness on the tounge. Its a shame this will be my last glass of this nice winter seasonal. RIP Rocky River brewery.

Last beer sampled on San Diego trip. An amber color with some good lacing. The flavor is fruity and spicy. My palate has been destroyed by big IPA’s all week so I cant taste much at this point. Some alcohol showing through in the aftertaste. Not bad.

Clipper City has yet to blow me away, let me start with that. An amber appearance with a yeasty aroma consisting of some caramel and brown sugar. Some orange notes in the flavor as well as caramel and cherries. A rather one dimensional but ok tasting take on the Dubbel style.

Murky brown color with a medium head. Fruit filled aroma. A malty flavor with some dark fruit, caramel, and chocolate. I would almost call this one Chimay Blue light. A nice Dubbel and this is quickly becoming one of my favorite styles.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

Ummm yeah Im gonna go ahead and say this is a good beer. Some Initech coffee in the nose with some caramel and spices. The alcohol makes itself known kind of like Milton when he doesnt get his paycheck. But it also has some FLAIR to it with a big dose of caramel and toffee. Overall good beer, you should try it, that would be great.......
