Tasting of the Wedding Belgian Dubbel
It pours a nice clear medium brown tone with quickly dissipating head. In keeping with the last tasting, I'm using my Beer Tasting and Hop Appreciation Kit. The aroma of raisins and slight grain comes through some undertones of fruit. Upon a good swirl the slight tan head reappears and the Spalt aroma definitely comes through. Spalt seems to have an earthy or grassy nose to it. Saaz seems to be a little harder to pick up on this one. The only reason I know it has to be there is because I made the beer with it! Saaz and Spalt are akin and seem to have. As far as the 7.6%, don't feel it, smell it or taste it. I wouldn't let this one sit very much longer though, it seems to be about right.
