RATING
88
Grimbergen Double Ale is reddish-brown with a tall, frothy head. The powerful alcohol aroma plays alongside doughy and ripe plum scents. The flavor initially washes the palate with a mild mix of plum and red grapes and floral, spicy hops that just tickle the tongue. While lovely flavors, they lack complexity. Full and creamy with soft carbonation and a warm alcohol presence, this drinkable beer finishes very well with lingering fruity aftertastes.
