Sample at Ale Wine & Spirits in Powell on 09/02/2011. The beer is a cloudy copper-brown color with a thin off-white head that recedes quickly. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of molasses, tart fruit and grain. Light to medium body with an odd mildly sour character that seems reminiscent of other beers from this brewer I have tried. Notes of grainy malt and sweet caramel in the background. The finish is tart and fruity with a short sour aftertaste. Not impressed with this one.

Bottle. Pours a very cloudy light/medium brown with a thin head and very weak aromas... brown sugar? Maybe I’m off, but I can’t pick up much of anything in the nose other than a little sweet and some non-descript spice. Flavor is odd as well... kind of that funk that I’m starting to associate with Indigo Imp... like a slightly soured version of what might otherwise be considered a Rye beer. Who the heck put this as a Dubbel? It has a sweetness to it that transitions to a kind of tart (pie cherry and peach pit) tanginess. Interesting, to say the least.

This is fiend red rye ale, not a abbey dubbel, DUH! From a bottle, looks like I’m lucky to try it. Got the bottle from vintage estagtes, nice place and nic e eye candy. Muddy dark pour which is brown but not real dark. Thin pond scum head. A sour aroma which is mild and quite farmy, YUM! . Now, this is why I like these indego imps beers, everyone I ever tried has some sour thing going on and I like that, yes very nice sour tart thing. Also, these beers never fail to be a little sizzly, and so is this. Not over the top in a ny way and i find this beer to be quite acceptable for a dubble and aint that funny, I think the beer style category for this is way off, it should be listed in the rye style, you know; specialty grain if RB hasn’t created a rye style that is. Yes because right on the label its says red rye ale. Now for the long session taste; farmy background withah absence of hop bitter ness that I am thankful for. So what makes this a dubbel? Go figure, hehheh. Even tho it is not really a dubbel, I would say if cantellon ever made a mild one, this would be it, YUM! Very nice pleasant beer drinken rye experience! THIS BEER &THIS BRAND ROCKS!
