Now on Tap - Belgian Dubbel

Back on tap is our 2009 12th Anniversary Belgian-Style Dubbel. A rich malty beer with some spicy/phenolic and mild alcoholic characteristics. Traditionally a Trappist Ale, many brew similar "Abbey Dubbels" to try and emulate the originals like Westvleteren 8, Westmalle Dubbel & Chimay. This special ale was brewed in the beginning of January 2009, twice fermented over the next month or so, aged in oak bourbon barrels for a couple of months and has been aging in our icehouse since. Spicy Belgian yeast and a dark malty body compliment notes of dried fruit and mild charred oak. There are plenty of flavors to pick out on this one!
