Beer Tasting: Affligem Dubbel
This dubbel is brewed by Brouwerij Affligem in Belgium. Have you tasted this beer? Let us know what you think. As a suggestion, try to keep the review as brief as possible for each of the following: appearance; smell; taste; mouthfeel; and drinkability.
Appearance
Adam: soft reddish brown...apricot
Bryan: a dark reddish-orangish color brew; a soft head that dissappears slowly but leaves a swirly head throughout the drink
Smell
Adam: inspiring nose, figs, licorice
Bryan: a bit of sweet caramel apple, but otherwise hard to pin down
Taste
Adam: lives up to the nose, complex, not overpowering
Bryan: a bit of tartness balanced by nice malt character
Mouthfeel
Adam: carbonated, light
Bryan: a medium body; clean; moderate carbonation
Drinkability
Adam: like belgian beer? this is a good example
Bryan: easy-drinking; a good dubbel
Seconds?
Adam: yes...mmm
Bryan: sure, though two will be enough for one session
