      Minty, toasty.

      Black. Creamy head.
      Aroma (2)
      Earthy, papery.
      Mouthfeel (6)
      Medium body, smooth. Pretty tart. Dark malt, reasonably sweet. Some chocolate. Some alcohol.
      Overall Impression (1)
      A Dubbel shouldn't be tart.

  • Juicy or Hazy India Pale Ale
    • Date: May 3, 2024 (#11740)
      Package: draught
      Place: at the brewery
      Score: 16½ points
      Appearance (3)
      Yellow, hazy. Thick head.
      Aroma (3)
      Bubble gum, grassy, spicy.
      Mouthfeel (8)
      Medium-big body, smooth. Creamy, bready malt. Fruity, citrus hop flavor, reasonably bitter. It doesn't have as much of the slick texture that so many hazys have.

      Really not bad at all.
