Meh. Earthy tastes aren’t bad. Surprisingly flat. No Belgian yeast. Not a dubbel.
Pours a dark amber with light tan head. Has a sweet fruit, wine-like aroma. Taste is very wine-like with fruits, light malts, caramel, and sugar. A very sweet fruit aftertaste.
Good flavor, nice buzz. The blonde is better, but when in doubt this beer with suffice. It's gluten free and that's a plus
Bottle. Pours a mostly clear dark brown color with a moderate frothy tan head on there. Nose is sweet, with caramel and candied sugar in there. Taste is slightly sweet, but with a sour aftertaste. Meh.
odd, cider taste, caramel, bread, roasty, citrus, herbs, resin, leather, earthy, alcohol, cooked vegetables, soy sauce, red, clear, flat rocky head, lightly bitter,
dark brown with a thick head; dark fruit and piney hop aroma; roasted malt and dark fruit flavor with a good deal of spivey, piney hop notes; a gluten free beer; maybe a good choice if you are gluten intolerant, but if not, there are plenty of better beers out there
I didn’t know buckwheat wasn’t wheat. Oh well. Had a mini Greens tasting. I’d passed for a while cause these are 6.50 for 500 ml of gluten free...weirdness, as it turns out. His "Dubbel" really fell into no style. Looked like a Dubbel but had an odd sweetness above hints of belgian yeast and an even odder sour note that wasn’t enough to be cool - just enough to be off."
Looks like everyone before me got old bottles. Well, kudos to my stellar bottle shop for getting a fresh batch.
This was poured into a chalice because I thought it was a dubbel as it says it is on the label.
The appearance was a dark brown color with a thin quarter finger white foamy head that concaves and doesn’t really leave any lacing.
The smell has some cinnamon, Belgian yeast and spice, clove, light chocolate, not bad at all.
The taste takes those previously mentioned flavors and shakes them up to come across fairly nice.
On the palate, this one sat right at a medium in body with a decent sessionable aspect to it. The carbonation seems to be a tad sharper than expected and it comes across fairly watery on the finish.
Overall, dubbel or specialty grain, whatever it is, its not bad at all, but then again, I’m drinking two weeks old according to my bottle shop manager.
Odd aroma that reminds me of spreading mulch in the yard. All dirty and vegetal. Muddy brown appearance to match. Weird sweet fruity taste, has a cola feel to it. Almost artificial. This is reflected in the body as well, which prickly and sticky though not viscous. I don not hate it, just not what is expected.
Smells like a dishsoap washed dog that previously ran through a compost pile. Notes of cherry coke and red wine. Pretty bad, one of the worst beers I’ve ever tried.
Split with Tom. Courtesy of Tom. Of course this guy bought it. Allegedly on my account, but we all know that Tom just loves DPFs. Pours mahogany with a fluffy tan head. Aroma is cherry, plum vinegar. Maybe some fig. Taste is cherry chloraseptic. Not great but not terrible.
Bottle split with Pat. Pours a deep brown with thin, diminishing tan head and spots of lace. Aroma of sherry wine vinegar, plum, sour cherry, brown sugar. Watery, light body, seltzer-like. Notes of brown sugar, light fruit. Green’s ales do not contain anything drinkable
the commercial description reads: Ale made from millet, rice, buckwheat and sorghum. And that is the problem in a nutshell. Pours a transparent dark color with an excess of bubbles. Looks like Coke in a glass. Has some flavor notes resembling dark beer (chocolate, earthy) but also a medicinal sweetness and a strange finish. Sort of light on the palate- just really trying to be something it is not. Guess on the gf days I will just go with wine. Although Omission is pretty decent for gf.
Bottle. Pours dark, with an ample, lasting head. These GF beers always look like the real deal. Aroma is also very accurate for the style, hinting of sweeter malt. Flavor doesn’t meet the expectations based on looks and aroma, but it fits reasonably well in the style, though it would never be considered good for the style. But I found it to be enjoyable, and totally felt like I was drinking real beer. I actually have been impressed with the three GF beers from this brewer that I’ve tried. Well, done, and glad it’s available.
Not the worst gluten free ale I’ve tried. It’ll do in a bind. Rather flat and too sweet.
Tallahassee, Fl - New Leaf Market - 500 ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with a pilllowy off-white head, light lacing. Aroma has an odd meaty character to it with hints of chocolate. Flavor has some light coffee notes, a hint of molasses, some off-putting medicinal notes - due to the lack of gluten I’m sure. Thick enough mouthfeel. Not the most unflavorful thing I have ever tasted and could stomach this if I was allergic to gluten
Bottle at Patrick's mansion in the mansion backyard with Alex sophia patrick and Steven. Pours brown. Medium lacing. Aroma of apple big malt leather, great. Taste apple sugar cane brandy licorish. Finish very long and savory.
500 ML poured into a Chimay Chalice.
A - Pours very dark with garnet highlights. Cola brown head that sinks into an active ceiling.
S - Cherries, some tartness, apples, berries, sweet candy, perfume wine.
T - Cherries, vinous oxidation, tart dark fruit, subtle Christmas-like spice, dried orchard apples, dry vinous alcohol thins out the flavors on the finish.
M - Aggressive carbonation fills the mouth with bubbles and thins out the flavors, hindering them from developing.
It’s like a sparkling red wine with some yeast thrown in. Not as good as Quest and not a great Dubbel but it has a huge disadvantage being gluten free. For some reason it reminds me of Christmas. I could drink this while decorating the Christmas tree.

Pours a hazy dark. Aroma is sweet dark fruits. Medium bodied with low carbonation. Sweet, syrupy, and flat tasting. Tastes like a non-alcoholic dark beer or a "beer-flavored" drink. Not good.
Pricey gluten free brew at $7 for a 550ml. I have been trying a lot of gluten free beers because my girlfriend doesn’t eat gluten, and of the one’s I’ve had this one is most similar to gluten "with" beer. Although, as with all the gluten free brews I’ve had, it’s just missing that yeasty bite .
Pours deep amber/brown with a thick off white head. Aroma is fruity...raisin and fig. Flavor follows suit...super faint tart and leather too. Mouthfeel is light and lively with a dry/earthy/dark fruit finish.
Slightly cloudy brown with a decent off white head. Aroma is paint, sherry, caramel. Reasonably thin on the body, has a nice tang on the palate. Taste is sherry, grape, little spice. Nice but not much like a Dubbel - not much like a beer at all actually.
Horrid. Molasses, medicine, and a fake juice aroma mixed with something approaching plum. Medium bodied and amber appearance.
Pours dark amber with a 3 inch frothy head. Laces really well. Smells like plum juice with a hint of belgian yeast and light malt. The flavor is mostly sweet with some toasty malt. Palate is a bit harsh. Finish is just lightly malty. Not a whole lot going on in the hop arena.
Not the worst gluten free beer but there isn’t anything too tasty about this one. Thin with some dark fruit notes.

Pours very dark, almost black, with a nice tan head. Aroma is thin. Taste is pretty good for a gluten free beer. Slightly dark dubbel taste. Thumbs up for the style.
Feb 2010: Brown 33cl bottle, drank three days after its best before date. This is gluten free, wheat free ’double dark beer’.
Dark it is, very dark indeed, a really deep ruby red colour to be truthful, with a tan collar and wisps.
The smells given off where complex and different, chocolate malts and liquorice, then more chocolate, dark chocolate actually.
The flavours were deep and rich, again a mix of chocolate and liquorice.
Good feel to this beer, rich, creamy and full of flavour.
Didn’t expect anything as good as this when I bought it, very impressed.
First full dark gluten free ive ever had. Great taste low carbonation. No raunchy bland sorgum taste.
So this was my first Gluten free beer and it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Its certainly unfair to compare this versus other true Belgian dubbels or other dark true beers. Comparing it versus Redbridge would be a better way to rank this. With that caveat, lets get into it.
Pours dark brown with a thick creme colored head. Toasted malt aroma with vinaigrette dressing notes. Flavor of molasses and raisins and red wine.
