Enough with the imperial stouts already! We're finally breaking back over into the Belgian side with this nice Abbey Dubbel courtesy of Konings Hoeven.
This brew pours dark brown with a slight red tinge and has a large slightly off white head. It is dominated by the smell of dark fruits, hops, and light barley malts with a subtle alcohol undertone. Unfortunately the taste does not stand up to the scent and is not nearly as complex. Similar in that it has flavors of plums, raisins, and alcohol but the transitioning is not nearly as fluid as some other dubbel's reviewed on this site. Not great, but good.
Appearance - 3.6
