- Website: desertedgebrewery.com
- Brew: Dubbel Trubbel Abbey Ale
- Style: Belgian Dubbel
- Serving: 36 ounce grumbler off the tap
- ABV: 4.0%
- Pour: It pours a very murky, rich mahogany amber with a creamy 1+ finger off-white head that dissipates quickly, leaving very little lacing.
- Nose: The nose of the Dubbel Trubbel Abbey Ale is characterized by fruit esters, yeast, light spices, and sweet malts. There are aromas of ripe banana, plantains, pink bubblegum, vanilla bean, and soft caramel with light cloves and nutmeg.
- Taste: The taste is spicy, fruity, and malty. There are notes of cloves, nutmeg, allspice, ripe banana, bubblegum, toffee, hints of Chardonnay, coriander, and orange peel.
- Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with lower carbonation, the mouthfeel is very smooth, sweet, and slightly bitter with a dry and spicy lingering finish.
Overall pairing: The Dubbel Trubbel Abbey Ale from the damn fine brewers at Desert Edge Brewery is a wonderfully complex, yet very drinkable brew that is perfect for the smart and humorous lyrics of Biafra along with the fast, rockin' goodness of the Melvins! You definitely need both in your life!!
Cheers!!
