26 Allagash Dubbel Reserve United States Abbey Dubbel 3.8

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

Thuis poured a murky brown color with a beige head. The aroma contains some nutmeg, caramel,. toffee, and cherries. The flavor is excellent with some caramel, toffee, vanilla, and cherries. My only complaint, and it’s not much of one, is the body is a bit thin. Overall this is a nice beer.

27 5 Seasons Lumburg Belgian Dubbel United States Abbey Dubbel 3.8

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.......

28 Stone 06.06.06 Vertical Epic Ale United States Abbey Dubbel 3.9

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

A dark brown apperance with a tan head. The aroma contains chocolate, raisins, bananas, licorice, and coffee. The flavor consists of chocolate, licorice, raisins, cloves, and coffee. An interesting twist on a dubbel certainly more on the stout side with a mix of hefe in there. The finish is a little bit boozy and sweet. The bitterness lingers. A very different and nice beer. One of my favorite Stone verticals!

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

My first Belgian and a nice experience with a cigar. A good caramel, chocolate, and dark fruit flavor. Not as sweet as you would expect with a nice bitter flavor. Good Belgian.

30 5 Seasons Delerium Dubbel United States Abbey Dubbel 4.3

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

Wow! This quickly changed my impression of 5 Seasons! Hazy brown color with a thick head. Flavor was rich and malty with some Christmas spice, plums, raisins, and cherries. This was prefectly balanced. I'm glad I had the opportunity to sample this beer.

31 Croy Dubbel Belgium Abbey Dubbel 3.8

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

I really enjoyed this actually. A reddish brown appearance with a frothy head. Some figs, raisins, and chocolate in the aroma. The flavor was somewhat sour with some cherries, chocolate, and peanuts. Some alcohol shows up in the finish. Seems well balanced. Im a foo for dubbels I think.

33 Rochefort Trappistes 6 Belgium Abbey Dubbel 4.3

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

Well another Rochefort. The 10 is close to perfect, the 8 was boring but ok, now onto the 6. Well this one is brown in apperance with a moderate head. The aroma is caramel and brown sugar. The flavor is a bit light but very well balanced and flavorful. Some dark fruit and caramel with a backbone of some apricots? Ive had more flavorful dubbels but not many as well crafted as this.

34 Flying Fish Belgian Style Dubbel United States Abbey Dubbel 3.3

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 7

This one seem more in the mold of a brown ale than a dubbel to me. Brown appearance with a moderate head. Some grapes, caramel, and nutmeg in the flavor. Pretty good session beer if nothing else.

35 McKenzie Abbey 8 United States Abbey Dubbel 3.8

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

This was probably the best beer sampled at McKenzie’s. It had a reddish orange appearance with a fair amount of head. It was a little bit on the thin side but flavorful nonetheless. I tasted cherries, raisins, grapes, and some light citrus notes. Pretty good example of the style.

39 Iron Hill Quad United States Abbey Quadrupel 4.1

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

A dark brown appearance. The alcohol really stood out in this one. Syrupy sweet with a strong molasses and grape flavor. The flavor was very similar to wine. A big ol wack of alcohol remains on the tounge. Warming and would be good in small amounts.

40 Iron Hill Oak Aged Quad United States Abbey Quadrupel 3.8

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

A dark brown appearance. The alcohol really stood out along with a strong whiskey flavor. Syrupy sweet with a strong molasses and grape flavor. This one seems to be overwhelmed by the whiskey flavor. I would stick with the regular quad personally.

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

A peach and caramel aroma. An amber appearance. The flavor is semi cloying with some molasses, caramel, raisins, and other dark fruit. A complex and sweet beer. Arnold seems like a generic name for a saint though?

45 Gaverhopke Den Twaalf Belgium Abbey Quadrupel 3.8

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

Im oddly scared of this, suck it up Sally. A dark bronze color with almost no head. Smells oddly close to wine with some grapes, raisins, and cherries. Wow are you kidding it tastes like a wine. I poured it from the bottle I know its not. Flavor contains some grapes and a hint of spices. Alcohol is rather well hidden. Overall good beer?

46 St. Bernardus Abt 12 Belgium Abbey Quadrupel 4.3

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

A chocolate, raisin, caramel, and oak filled aroma. Appearance is a dark brown with a large head. The flavor is quite rich with some roasted nuts, grapes, raisins, cherry, oak, maple syrup, and caramel. A very complex sipper this one is. My only complaint with this beer is the over carbonation. It has a very spritzy mouthfeel. Regardless this beer rocks!

An underrated Belgain. Complex flavor of pears, peaches, oranges, plums and some alcohol. Rich palate. This is one bad ass Belgian! Try one right away, you won't be sorry.

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

I had this with Westy 12. Wow! This is one excellent belgian ale. Dark and complex flavor mainly dark fruit with a slight smokey feel. It hides the high ABV well. Great for sipping. A little costy but hey life is short, so treat yourself every once in a while.

A very complex and flavorful belgian. Good warming effect with the alcohol. This one is pricey and hard to find, but you must try it at least once in your life.
