Beer Review - Doodle Brewing Dubbel



Brewery: Doodle Brewing Co
Location: Liberty, MO
Beer Name: Dubbel Doodle
Style: Belgium Dubbel
ABV: NA%
IBU: NA

The beer was poured from a 22oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours a hazy mahogany with copper tinges around the edges. The head pours a nice off-white that dissipates quickly with minimal lacing. The aroma hints of bready, yeasty spices and caramel. The body leans towards the lighter side of a medium body brew but well carbonated. The flavor starts with subdued hints of raisins and biscuity malt that builds into a slightly sweet but fleeting caramel middle. A firm bite of Belgium yeasty spice and grassy hops ends this dry finishing beer.

Overall and interesting and very drinkable take on a Belgium dubbel. For a dubbel it could use a little more weight to the body. I really like the haziness of the beer. I think all too often people get caught up in clarity. Not as complex as your standard dubbel but the lighter body, higher carbonation, and subdued flavor profile makes this a very sessionable versions of this style. I was very excited to try this very small local artisan brewery’s beer and look forward to other creations.
