This beer walks the fine line between the Belgian Dubbel style and its bigger cousin, the Belgian Dark Strong Ale. In the glass it is a deep brown with a reddish/orange hue and a big, white, rocky head. The Belgian yeast provides plum, raisin, maybe some green banana, along with cocoa, spun sugar and a bready malt aroma. The flavor is smooth, yeasty, banana bready-malt backed with spiciness, perhaps marjoram, or even some mace. Behind the spiciness, there are plum and currant flavors, with perhaps a touch of white grape. The hops provide enough balance to provide a creamy finish with a touch of alcohol warmth. Definitely a well done Belgian warmer.This beer walks the fi ne line between the Belgian Dubbel style and its bigger cousin, the Belgian Dark Strong Ale.
