Homebrewed Dubbel

Beer-a-Day #234

I helped Chris brew his first batch of beer today (more on that later). As I was digging around in the storeroom for my brewing equipment I came across a whole slew of homebrew from last summer that I never got around to drinking. It’s all pretty high gravity stuff, so I’m hopeful it has aged well.

One of those I pulled out is labeled as a dubbel. It’s a deep mahogany brown with a nice cream-colored head. Big malty nose, with a bit of spice and dried fruit. The taste follows the aroma, and frankly it’s delicious. I look forward to enjoying the rest.
