Tarrytown Belgian Dubbel

16oz can from Half Time. Mahogany pour, fizzy head disappears quickly. Aroma is sweet, raisins and brown sugar. Taste follows with muted sweetness, heavier on the pit fruit and raisins. A little toasty malts as well. Finishes fast.

I have 16 oz can obtained from Halftime not long ago. Dubbels are generally not easy to locate in the states, happy to have this one. Using my Chimay glass this evening, a decided note of optimism. I make the pour to see a copper brown body with practically no head. There is an active carbonation though. The smell is dark fruits and bread. My first drink delivers a taste of dried figs, raisins, wood, grain, a touch of caramel and toasted bread. There is a hefty presence in the mouth and I find a decent bitterness at the end. Good representation of a style I much appreciate.
