This luxurious brew begins with a big, beautiful Abbey Dubbel which then heads to our cellar, where it's gracefully aged for six months in a mix of bourbon and brandy casks. This blend of barrels adds an additional layer of flavor and complexity to what is already an incredibly layered drinking experience. The result is a beer worthy of slow-sipping, and deep contemplation. A beautiful fusion of dark fruit, caramel, molasses, and bourbon. Sip and enjoy, but be warned, Double Barrel Dubbel may result in a spiritual awakening.

Pours deep mahogany into a snifter. Tan head with medium retention recedes to mottle surface. Plum, clove and vanilla aromas. Soft with bourbon-soaked pit fruit upfront turning to soft bransy and caramel in the warm lasting finish.

On tap at One Mile House Bar, pours a hazy dark amber brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out a nice mellow combination of brandy and bourbon barrels, with subtle Belgian yeast and a touch of candied sugar. Flavour is fantastically complex and cohesive, with wonderful interplay of bourbon and brandy barrels upfront, with dark fruits, bready toffee and some candied sugar underneath. Despite its seeming intensity, it actually comes across impressively easy-drinking. Wonderful.

12 ounce bottle. Reddish brown color. Brief beige head. Rich, plum malt aroma. Notes of bourbon and brandy. Sweet dark fruit malty flavor upfront. Complex flavors abound. Plums, currants, figs and quince come to mind. Rich flavorable notes of brown sugar and dark dried fruits. Cloying malty finish.
