Devil's Backbone - Dark Abby

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

A decent dubbel. Priced very nicely ($10 for a six pack). Decent caramel sweetness. "Decent."

Dogfish Head - Urkontinent

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

Not really a traditional dubbel. Some licorice & chocolate taste to it. Reminds me vaguely of Bell's Batch 9000. Nice enough. I'd get it on tap, but probably won't get another bottle.

Hitachino Net Beer Three Days

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

I'm not really sure what to classify this as. Beer Advocate has it as a witbeer/white ale, which it is clearly not. It tastes like a blend of a dubbel and a pale ale, with some tartness to it. Not bad. Not great.

Rochefort 8

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

Its very drinkable. But its a lot more subdued than I like dubbels. The fruit flavors are muted. It's nice, but way too pricey to buy again.

Heavy Seas - 2011 Letter of Marque

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

This was surprisingly good. Like, "I would buy another bottle" good. A solid dubbel.

Bonus Mandy Thoughts
Just the right amount of belgian-y.

Wedding Beer #5

Thanks Sara!!

More sugary molasses flavor than dark fruit going on. Definitely enjoyable.

Bonus Mandy Thoughts:
It has an aftertaste of coffee grounds.

Westmalle Trappist Dubbel

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

Served cold the carbonation completely overwhelms the taste. Still pretty malty. [Lets the beer sit for 20 minutes] Ahh. Much better. Only slightly sweet. A hint of raisin or dark fruit. The carbonation also settled down. Really enjoyable.

Sierra Nevada Ovila Dubbel

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

Much better as it warmed up. More on the sweet/sugary side than fruity. I think I've liked other dubbels better.

He'brew Rejewvenator (Year of the Grape) (2010)

The label says this a cross between a dopplebock and a dubbel, but brewed with some grapes.

Its really sweet. Like, super sweet. It reminds me more a dubbel than a dopplebock. I'd skip it if I saw it again.

Goose Island Pere Jacques

Pretty sweet, some dark fruit and caramel flavors. Moderate amount of carbonation. Pretty good offering.

I think I should probably drink more dubbels.

Corsendonk Abbey Brown Ale

First time I ever had a Corsendonk beer was at Wonderland about 5 years ago. Some dude came into the bar with one of those three foot tall bottles and started sharing it with everyone at the bar. I think it was the Christmas ale.

Not really fruity, a slight molasses and raisan taste. Not very sweet. Pretty balanced.



Bonus Mandy Thoughts:
Smells like it has hard alcohol in it too. Smells whiskey-ish.

Its carbonated and dark brown in color.
