Medium body. Complex taste.

Grim Reaper's Eulogy 
Allagash Dubbel Ale was the right call at the end of a busy day. Holiday shopping completed, a reward was in order to celebrate. A recent dip in the temps also helped set  the tone for this 7% dubbel. This beer finishes very clean and leaves you wanting more. And how I wish there were more.

Seven malts go into making Dubbel Ale along with a Belgian yeast strain. It's tasty and a solid ale that can be easily sessioned. While it isn't the absolute best dubbel I've sampled, I would get this again and again. Smooth, malty sweet and delicious.

That does it...going on a hunt for more, soon.

Postmortem Brew Review
Straw yellow color with some haze.
Wheat, citrus fruit nose. Small amount of grain noticed.
Foamy white head with decent lacing..
Lemon citrus, wheat, coriander tastes, as with the aroma.
Fair amount of fizzy carbonation creating small bubbles in head.
Light to medium body.  Easy drinker. 

Grim Reaper's Eulogy 
This was the second sampling in the flight at Mr. Beery's tonight.  Creamy and hazy witbier that had just a touch of yeast.  Very delightful after the Victory Golden Monkey.  From the flight sampling, I recall how easily it went down and how refreshingly smooth it was, as are most in the wheat style.  But this was uncommonly better than most witbiers.  First from this brewery for me, but most definitely not the last.

I will get more of this again soon!  Easy to drink at any time of year.

UPDATE 12/14/2010: Had some of this tonight in a 12 ounce bottle and it was as delicious as ever! Going to get more next bottle hunting trip!
