Booze ... in 50 Words or Less: Allagash Dubbel Reserve, Batch #97

Allagash Dubbel Reserve

Picked it up from Capone's after our Philly Beer Week outing on Saturday. Basic Belgian-style, decent, but not what I might expect from a reserve. In comparison to the other brews of the night, ten times better than Ballast Point Wahoo Wheat, not nearly as memorable as the Hitachino Nest Red Rice Ale.

Hitachino Nest Red Rice Ale
Took a little break from the diet this weekend to enjoy Philadelphia Beer Week. Went to Capone's (review coming) and got some stuff from their beer store, including a 21-ounce of this fabulously labeled marvel. Not as exceptional as their White Ale, but still a distinctive, slightly bitter delicassie.
