This beers namesake, Brother Joseph, was a monk and artist who used found objects such as marbles and chunks of concrete and tile to build miniature shrines and buildings in Cullman, Alabama at the Ave Maria Grotto. We have named our Belgian Dubbel after Brother Joseph as a testament to his perseverance, hard work, creativity and his indomitable spirit. A full-flavored abbey-style ale with a complex taste and aroma, Brother Joseph’s Dubbel is filled with specialty malt and dark fruit character.

Keg at BD Bingoham. It pours clear deep ruby with a medium light tan head. The aroma is sweet upfront glacé cherry, cherry pie, toasted almond, vanilla, orange peel, dried fig, clove rock and candy floss. The taste is dry, bitter, loads of clove character about this, candy cane, clove rock, glacé cherry, chewy, toothy, nougat, oily, wood, spice and leather with some alcohol warmth through the finish. Medium-flu body and fine, foamy carbonation. Probably too much clove - glacé cherry about this. Decent nontheless.

A bit mild for a Dubbel, BroJo hits all the necessary notes--tea, figs, apple, clove, candy, and yeast--but never gives much more than cursory glances at each. Finishes a bit light and bland with a apple-tinged fade, yet the alcohol remains appreciably hidden. Decent.

Lovely dark amber color with a bit tan head. Looks really inviting. Dried fruits, some yeast, toffee, plums and raisins in the aroma. Medium + body. Tad sweet and a moderate bitterness. Average to soft carbonation. Plums, dried fruits, toffee, yeast and raisins in the flavor. A bit to much yeast.
