Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to chalice.
Appearance: dark mahogany to reddish brown color with a thin cap of a little eggshell white foamy head which dissipated kindly to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark fruits, Belgian sugars; Belgian yeast, subtle spiced apples, caramel/toffee malts, light booze and a little bit of chocolate tones
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to spicy quality; finishes dark fruity, subtle-apple-like and Belgian sweet
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; some smoothness but also that "back-of-the-throat" grabby-like Belgian grip; light dryness
Overall: yes, I do believe this is a Belgian Dubbel and it does do well for a Winter beer on a cold Winter's night. I'd return to this.
