Batch 97 Dubbel tasting notes

Cellar temp

Pours deep red, very clear, small light tan head that stays

Aroma tropical fruit, dirt, Indian spice, a tad boozy

Mouth feel pretty toothy, nice mouthful without clinging

Flavor banana up front, stone fruit, roast malt rounds out yeast, bitter/alcohol warmth at end

Finish very nice balance just enough hop bitterness and carb to clean up nicely

Overall, fine beer but fermentation temp went too high in primary.  Hops/grains/yeast are quality combo, but heavy banana esters and fusels are a problem.
