Inspired by the classic Dubbels of Belgium, Barkley’s Belgian-style Ale has a dark brown body and aromas of warm cocoa, banana, and cloves. Specialty malts impart a toasted, nutty character and flavors of chocolate-covered cherries and candied fruits, while the subdued hop profile and Abbey yeast create spicy, herbal notes to compliment the warm, slightly sweet finish.

Bomber from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours a dark deep ruddy color with a beige head. Aromas of yeast/spice/malt. Tingles in the nose. Med + body. Flavor is darkish fruit/yeast/spice/malt. It isn’t dry. It is lightly bitter. Kind of a cross between a (dare I say) tripel and a doppelbock. Might be a slight chocolate touch. The sweetish darkish fruit is nice. Not really bothered by any heat sensations. Pretty good drink for an evening.

Sampled on draft at Hou Thou this beer poured a black color with red highlights and a medium sized foamy tan head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was toasty and woody with notes of fig, date and a bit of cola. The flavor was woody, toasty and malty with notes of cola, faint dark fruits, black licorice and a bit of alcohol. Medium length finish. Slightly watery body. Disappointing.
