Allagash Dubbel hews close to the Abbey ale tradition. Its combination of 2-row malted barley, Victory, Carapils, malted red wheat, Munich, and black malt imbue it with a rich, copper color and complex, malty taste. Despite its full flavor, it finishes dry with subtle hints of chocolate and toffee. Not to be outmatched, our house yeast asserts itself by lending the beer undertones of classic Belgian fruitiness.

Bottle at le mondiale 2011.
A perfect example of the style.
An incredible balance between sweet bready, biscuity, caramel malts, and a good dose of lightly aromatic hops. Just the right amount of bitterness, and the malts are not overly sweet, just right. Incredible beer.

Batch # 43. Dark brown color, firm frothy head. Malty, sugary aroma. Sweet flavor with licorice, chocolate and some roasted malt. Grapes. Medium to full bodied. Nice, well made dubbel, with no specific character.

One of the nice parts of traveling out of town is getting to locate brews not available at home. A trip this summer to Chicago to watch the Cubs put up the W flag included a visit to a seedy liquor store that, inexplicably, had a couple of bottles of Allagash Dubbel on the shelf. I purchased one (bottled on 7/1/15), brought it home and am now opening for a taste on a cool, autumn, Friday evening. I pull the cork out of the 750 ml bottle and pour aggressively into my Buffalo Bayou snifter. I find a tall, sepia colored, finely bubbled head on top of a mahogany brown-amber body. I give it a smell, yeast, yellow raisin and biscuit. But it is a tasting after all. I take a drink and taste and find, oh my, caramel, toast, berry, malt, yellow fruit and something earthy. All of it quite subtle, easy drinking. There is some nice lacing as I take it down. I understand Dubbel is no longer available. Shame.

On draft at the brewery it is a cloudy red color with a white head. The aroma is malty and the taste is strong malty taste with hints of nuts

12 oz bottle. Pours a a hazy mahogany with full head. Aromas of dry bread dough, soap, mineral water, and dried bananas. Flavors of copper, Belgian yeast, bread crusts, and dusty toasted malts. Belgian Dubbels are hard do copy - this one is almost, but not quite there. Good enough to grab when when no Belgiums...
