Bottle opened just as the Saints pull ahead in Superbowl XLIV. Pours a clear overly carbonated gold with a fizzy head. Aromas of dough and honey. Flavor is grainy with a bit of grass and a little bit of a sour old beer taste.

On draft at Poor House Bistro in San Jose. Pours a deep brown color with large brown head that leaves a scattered dusting. Aroma is nice full malt with sweetness and nice spicy hops. Taste is crisp and well balanced between the malt and hops. Some roast on the finish and a little hop bite and esters. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with some viscosity.

Sour cherries, some wood (oak?) and wheat. Has a distinct though quiet metallic finish. I also taste berries, dried not fresh.

Deep muddy brown coloured body with a thinnish fast-dying tan head. Aroma of alcohol, pears, apples, yeast, concord grapes and sour lemons - nice! Medium-bodied; Assertive yeast and apple characteristics with a good malt backbone, some alcohol and pit fruity notes of figs and prunes. Aftertaste very pleasant and long-lasting, a good amount of sugars arise, while some mild yeast and malt characteristics round out the flavours. Overall, a pretty good dubbel and without a doubt the best Abita beer I’ve had. Definitely impressed with this from the brewery, get it if you like dubbels, since this is a respectable beer from an American producer. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Half Time in Poughkeepsie, New York on 27-November-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 13-December-2009.

Babyfood banana and hay aroma. Shimmering amber with a thick white head, good lacing. It tastes of apple core and wheat, with a light grassy finish. Alcohol very well concealed. Well done and easily enjoyable.
