Beartooth Mountain is an unmistakable local peak due to its sharp, tooth-like formation. Belgian beers are also distinct in nature with many regarding them to be the pinnacle of brewing.
With its deep brown colour and ruby highlights, Beartooth Belgian Dubbel's complex caramel flavours with hints of raisin and dark fruit (think cherries and plums) will send you straight to the top of flavour mountain.

Light brown, slight haze, and a thin head. Sort of a cocoa-ish dry dark malt note, with yeasty, estery notes. Roughly in line with the style. This kind of drops off on the palate. Like popping a balloon. It sort of turns to water, the malt sort of backs off, the yeast/ester thing declines. This didn't come together much, and finishes more disappointing than it started.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 26 Nov 2024). Medium brown with small white head. Belgian yeast, candi sugar, a weird burnt wood note in the background that gives a medicinal quality to it.

473mL can. Pours murky brown with an off-white head. Bread crust and slightly phenolic Belgian yeast on the nose. Flavour is very muted, some Belgian yeast, stale bread. Tastes like the beer was strained in some way to dilute the flavour. Nose was promising, for a North American Belgian style, but the flavour was flat and disappointing.

Updated April 2025: 473 ml can. Pours a dark reddish brown with moderate head. Aromas of candi sugar, raisins, copper, and toasted malts. Flavors of coppery mineral water, raisins and toasted malts. Harsh . Seems typical of a North American attempt at a Belgian, overly metallic and missing both depth and complexity.
