12 oz bottle-pours a foamy tan head with deep clear amber color. Aroma is pine, dark fruit, cinnamon/clove, sweet, malt, (&hops?). Taste is coriander, caramel, a hefe meets dubbel? With a flat-metal aftertaste. The blend here doesn’t do it for me. Best by April 06. 091114 @NH Brewers Fest-rerate 3.5

Paid $1.49 for a 12-oz single bottle at Whole Foods, Charlottesville, VA. Pours clear amber with a small beige head. Smells bready, coppery, and some maltiness, none of which are overly appealing. Flavor is rather bland, with some caramel, copper, banana, and bubblegum. Not ordinary to the style by any means, but that doesn’t make it good.

I didn’t have this pegged as an abbey dubbel - perhaps a yeasty spice/herb/vegetable - quite a spicy, almost peppery aroma, with a hint of gingerbread - peppery and roasty up front, followed by a touch of caramel, then some biscuity malt - light, almost watery finish - certainly not their best effort.
