ALLAGASH Brewing Company - Dubbel Ale Review





Type: Dubbel

ABV: 7%

Color: Beautiful opaque medium brown that tends lighter at the bottom. It has a thin head with some lacing.

Aroma: Not really much of a throw from the glass...On deep inhale some carameled sweets sweetness comes through along wwith some malt.

Taste; Malt, caramel, and alcohol are the first and most aggressive tastes. I get chocolate in there also. No bitterness to compare to the strong malt body.

Overall: No flavor really stands out, and that would usually mean a balanced beer, but not with this one. The malt wants to stand out but the chocolate won't let it...The chocolate wants to also but the caramel keeps it in check. It has an light to medium body that is dull in the middle and no-existant at the end.

Score: 7/10
