Evil Genius Formidable

Belgian styles are among my favorites, so I was happy to see a Belgian dubbel in my Evil Genius Supervillains 6er:


Vittles:
Belgian Dubbel
6.5% abv
20 IBUs

Score:
Appearance: 8/10
Aroma: 20/25
Taste: 35/40
Mouthfeel: 7/10
Style: 4/5
Drinkability: 9/10
Overall: 83/100

Impression:
It definitely hit the spot, though the mouthfeel was more on the watery side than I would've liked.  The beer, as with the style, is fairly malt-forward, so I tasted a lot of delicious malty flavors like toffee, caramel, and brown sugar.  I got hints of raisins here and there, but it wasn't as substantial of a flavor as I would've preferred.  It also had a nice, mellow noble hops character to it, nice and earthy/herbal, which complemented the malt flavors very well.  It wasn't my favorite Belgian dubbel, but it's a pretty solid showing, and I'd definitely get it again.

Cheers!
