Ovila Abbey Dubbel Ale

Ovila Abbey Ales is a joint project with Sierra Nevada and the Abbey of New Clairvaux. Sierra will be releasing these ales in a seasonal series, starting with the dubbel. This smooth dubbel poured a milk chocolate brown with a little red along the edges. Bready aroma, like a nice fresh pumpernickel. There's some dark cherries and figs on the back of the tongue and an overall creamy texture to the brew. No discernible hoppiness, but a distinct malt character. Not your everyday beer, but pretty cool for a Sunday evening.
