22oz bomber. Fruity malt aroma. Patchy, soapy head. Amber-brown color. Slight warm on the palate, some dark fruity bitterness as well. A tad thick and syrupy. Dopple and Dubbel is an awkward combination, and the sweet date syrup adds to the mess. Sweet, sugary finish. OK at best.

12 ounce bottle from Market Street Wine Shop, Downtown location, Charlottesville, VA. Pours a dark ruby tinted brown color with a medium head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is molasses, chocolate, nutty notes and husky malt notes. Taste is chocolate, nutty notes and faint hops in the finish. Also just a faint note of coffee and molasses. Medium bodied. Nice and refreshing.
