Our homage to the classic Abbey Dubbel pours ruby brown with a dense head. It releases aromas of treacle, chocolate covered cherries, raisin and plum, while also evoking hints of apple pie and ripe banana. The noble hops bring out a spicy finish, with suggestions of fresh ground peppercorns, nutmeg and cinnamon. This is all lifted up and brought together by a fine carbonation that makes it float, silky smooth, over your palate.

Mostly clear brown body and modest foam. Mellow plum and caramel aroma, soft hops too. Taste is nice biscuit, some bitter molasses, soft caramel. Ends smooth. Okay, drinkable but a little boring.

Can from The Gull, 1 year old
Amber colour, clear. Moderate, clean malts, a touch of caramel and candi sugar, no true Belgian character. It's moderately sweet.
Doesn't really taste like a Belgian beer, but it's clean and pleasant.

16oz at Alex's. Appearance: clear brown with a tan head. Aroma: sweet dark fruits, a brown sugar, Belgian yeasts. Taste: along the same Iines, lacks a bit of body and depth compared to Belgian examples. Overall: ok.

473mL can, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Nose brings out toasted chestnuts, brown sugar, Belgian yeast and candi sugar. Flavour is along the same lines, with candi sugar, toasted nuts, and Belgian yeast. The residual sweetness is fairly low for the style, with a nice burnt brown sugar / molasses character. Very well-made.
