ABBEY BELGIAN STYLE ALE

Brewed and Bottled by New Belgium Brewing, Fort Collins, CO
++1/2
FROM THE LABEL: "NEW BELGIUM= Employee owners would love to have you stop by the brewery! 500 Linden, Fort Collins, CO 80524 ( 888) NBB-4044. A beauty of a Belgium dubbel with six different malts and an authentic Belgium yeast strain thats happiest being served in a New Belgium globe glass."
FROM THE MOUTH: BELGIAN DUBBEL: This was a beer that started with a smell ( SMELL_ STRONG) so I had to go with it- what the heck was that....clove... banana....plums....apple and brown sugar...it took awhile and I had to put the beer back in the fridge so it wouldn't get warm. Next the taste... there is THAT taste again that I have found ....rude, but I decided to go with it because it is not overwhelming in this beer. Someone told me it was the yeast strain- the UNIBROUE beers have it and the AMARCORD. I found this very complex due to the overwhelming variety of sweet taste mixed with the heavy cloves which may be what I am thinking is the yeast? I probably won't have this again but for those who like the yeast strain of UNIBROUE and AMARCORD I think you will really like this beer. no rating since i can't be impartial
FROM THE STORE: Trader JOe's- they like this type of tasting beer!
The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all the other woes of mankind, is
