Tasting Notes and Review of Grimbergen Double Ale

This Belgian ale is rich and smooth and a bit on the sweet side. With none of the sourness that is often present in Belgium's best beers, I would call this a great starter beer for anyone just getting to know Belgian ale.

Pros

Cons

The beer pours dark amber and slightly hazy in the glass. The medium head is dense and tan and leaves a decent lacing. The nose is rich and packed with notes of molasses and grain. It tastes sweet with molasses and currant notes and exhibits a medium mouthfeel. There is very little balancing hops though a bit of bitterness shows up as the end of the taste and prevents the otherwise sweet beer from becoming cloying.
