I feel like a skit on SNL when Seth Meyers keeps saying. "really?" cause i read the description before i took a sip and saw the words, "abbey ale" on the label, took that sip and said, "really?" then i laughed.

Overall Impression: A pretty dull, average winter brew. An abbey dubbel? That seems like a stretch...

Bottle on 12/20/2008 from Food Lion in Varina, VA. Very clear dark copper body with a large frothy off-white head. Sweet sugar and corn aroma with some caramel malts. Sweet caramel and light molassas flavor, a bit sugary with some slight roasted malt hints. Medium body with moderately high carbonation.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Offwhite head recedes to skim surface. Sweet upfront with yeast and caramel. Lasting caramel finish.

12 ounce bottle. Coors attempts a dubbell. Hmm. Pours a reddish brown color with a medium head. Poor head retention and lacing. Aroma is sweet and earthy malts. Sweet caramel malts in the taste, with not much else. Thin bodied.

I don’t think this is really any better than the standard stuff. Not an abbey dubbel that I recognize. Pours a coppery color with a smally, fizzy, tainted head which goes quickly, but leaves a small amout of lacing. Taste was more than forgettable. Dy and fizzy mouthfeel. Not great.

12 oz bottle; Well, I had a Greens Endeavour the other day and it was a gluten free Dubbel. If I had to drink Gluten free, I could survive on that. Nose of this is musty, without much fruit, malt or caramel; those three factors are present in miniscule notes; looks good, lightly hazed copper with a big straw head; flavor a bit better than the nose; lightly caramelly, with some fruitiness; better than the nose but not near as good as the Greenes! Not horrible, but not as good as a gluten-free???? And this is supposed to supplant and take market share from craft beers? Since you have your choice of the best ingrediants, show us better results than this!This tastes like a drinkable mediocre beer, but has little resemblance to an abbey dubbel!

12 oz bottle-pours a foamy to rocky light tan head that laces and copper/orange color. Aroma is medium malt-caramel, at first pour a hint of spice, some bready. Taste is medium malt-caramel, some bready, secondary earthy(English)/spicy hops. Light side of medium body. OK carbonation.

Cola coloured copper hue with a large soapy tan head and tons of bubbles reminiscent of vernor’s soda. Aroma of ginger, nuts, malt and a horrible amount of metal and blood - nothing too pleasant here. Light-bodied; Horribly fake sugars dash the taste with caramel and some gross prunes tucked into the metal and malt that are most prominent. Aftertaste shows metal and nuts, but mostly a disgusting fruit flavour along with strong alcohol. Overall, a pretty bad beer and not even CLOSE to a belgie dubbel. I had my doubts about this one and I was definitely right - this isn’t worth ANYONE trying. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia on 10-February-2008.
