Bottle re-fermented and naturally gluten free. The latest edition to our range of beers from ancient grains. The dubbel style originated in Belgium, possibly as a “second style” offered for sale by monastic breweries. Green’s Dubbel is the world’s first version of this style produced from ancient grains, all gluten-free ingredients.
In the classic dubbel fashion, a hint of dark-sugar and toffee flavour; and a traditional Belgian yeast bouquet.

Sample at AleFest Columbus (06/27/09): The beer pours a deep mahogany color with a medium beige head that recedes steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of ripe fruit and spice. Medium body with flavors of almost sour fruit and sherry, plus some off spices. The finish is tart fruit with a spice and yeast aftertaste. Not very enjoyable overall.

Bottle: Poured a deep pitch-brown ale with a light foamy head with good retention and no lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with some distinguishable alcohol. Taste is also dominated by some overly sweet malt which are kind of gross with some hot alcohol ester. Light body with average carbonation. No subtlety or complexity and not something I am looking for ever drinking again.

Bottle. Mahogony beer with a big tan head. Red wine, caramel, dark fruit aroma. Berry fruit, caramel flavor with light yeast. Medium-light body. Needs malt. Lingering sweet fruitiness that turns a bit sacharine.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a super thick looking murkiness and a nice fast-fading tan head. Aroma of pure funk, caramel, raisins, grapes, cola and a tiny bit of spice - not too pleasant. Medium-bodied; Strong sharp maltiness with a twang of metal that can’t be diffused. Aftertaste shows some lighter metallic flavours, blood, malt, figs and some fruits - but basically just a mellowing out of the already pretty bad tastes. Overall, a pretty bad offering - if I had this in a blind tasting, I’d say this is some crummy craft breweries attempt at a nut brown. This thing is really bad - definitely not worth drinking! I sampled this 500 mL bottle purchased at Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 03-May-2008, sampled on 07-September-2008.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours deep clear garnet with thin mocha head. The aroma is pungent with bold dark fruity esters, some chemical alcohol notes, licorice and musty dewy fruitiness. The taste is as bold and sweet as the aroma with dark sugar coated fruitiness then becoming somewhat like red wine and tannin dryness. I also get a sugar porridge type sensation that’s mild and muted. Body seems really thin considering the level of sweetness in this beer.

Pour is a dark brown with a large tan head. Aroms is lots of vinegar and very red wine like. Flavor is dark malts with a super sourness. Not close to what the style should be as this is way to sour. Again they were practily giving this away at the W&C place in STL for $1.69 so i could not pass it up. If you see this on sale for $5 this is a waste of money.

Just going to take this as a beer: Dark brown colour. Some concord grape juice and molassesy accents. Sourish character with grape juice and maybe blackberry.

As an Abbey Dubbel, this absolutely sucks. As a Flemish Sour , which it is, it is slightly better. Deep brown, tan head. Metallic fruity astringent nose. Fizzy, somewhat tart winey profile, lacks sweetness needed for a dubbel. Light hop bitterness in finish
