Forager Johnny C's Brown

Forager Johnny C's Brown. Belgian Dubbel. 8% ABV. 18 IBU. Oak fermented Belgian style Abbey Dubbel brewed with local Minnesota buckwheat honey. Brewed and packaged by Forager Brewery, Rochester, MN.

Thoroughly brown color, slim cocoa-tinged head, looking the part.

In the nose: dark malt sweetness hits first, followed by cocoa, caramel, toffee, too. Dark fruit notes, as well, dates and plums aplenty. Medium bodied, long malty finish. Persistent flavors, here. And all the classic dubbed flavors, too, Delicious.

Deep brown with off-white head. Spiced caramel malt sweetness layered with dried dark fruits, and Belgian bread aromas. Sweet malty flavors dominate with mellow Belgian spices. This Trappist style ale is rich and smooth with a warming alcohol buzz.
